§ AL.11.09. EXPIRATION OR SUSPENSION OF PERMIT
EXPIRATION OR SUSPENSION OF PERMIT. (a) A permit issued under this code expires on the second anniversary of the date it is issued, except as provided by Subsections (d) and (e) or another provision of this code. (b) A secondary permit which requires the holder of the permit to first obtain another permit, including a retailer late hours certificate, expires on the same date the basic or primary permit expires. The commission may not prorate or refund any part of the fee for the secondary permit if the application of this section results in the expiration of the permit in less than two years. (c) An action by the commission resulting in the suspension of a basic or primary permit also acts to suspend any secondary permit held by the holder of the basic or primary permit. (d) The commission by rule may require that the expiration date for an individual permit holder's permit is the first anniversary of the date on which the permit is issued due to the permit holder's violation history. (e) The commission may issue a permit with an expiration date less than two years after the date the permit is issued in order to maintain a reasonable annual distribution of renewal application review work and permit fees. If the commission issues a permit with an expiration date less than two years after the date the permit is issued, the commission shall prorate the permit fee on a monthly basis so that the permit holder pays only that portion of the permit fee that is allocable to the number of months during which the permit is valid.
