(A) All city licenses, except special temporary licenses, shall begin on November 1 of any year and shall be valid for a period of no more than one year expiring on October 31 of the following year, and shall begin and end on the dates specified by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control Administrative Regulations for the city. Any licenses issued after December 31 of any year shall be assessed a fee which is based on the pro rata portion of the remainder of the license period; however, the cost of any license shall not be less than 1/2 the amount of the full fee for an annual license of that type. When any person applies for a new license authorized by KRS Chapters 241 to 244 and he or she shall be charged, if the license is issued, the full fee for the respective license if 6 months or more remain before the license is due to be renewed and 1/2 the fee if less than 6 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.
