(A) All city licenses, except special temporary licenses, shall be valid for a period of not more than a year and shall begin and end on the dates specified by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control Administrative Regulations for the city. When any person applies for a new license authorized by KRS Chapter 241 to 244 and CSO Chapter 2.5, he or she shall be charged, if the license is issued, the full fee for the respective license if six months or more remain before the license is due to be renewed and one-half the fee if less than six months remain before the license is due to be renewed. No abatement of license fees shall be permitted to any person who held a license of the same kind for the same premises in the preceding license period and who was actually doing business under the license during the last month of the preceding license period.
(B) The renewal by the city of the certificate or permit of any alcoholic beverage license shall not be construed to waive or condone any violation that occurred prior to the renewal and shall not prevent subsequent proceedings against the licensee.
