§ 52-3.321. Renewal.

(a)

The sheriff shall notify each licensee at least seventy days before the license expiration date.

(b)

Nevertheless, a licensee desiring to have his license renewed, shall apply therefor sufficiently (at least sixty days) in advance of its expiration date (anniversary of issuance) to allow its processing as a new application before the expiration of the license sought to be renewed. A renewal application shall otherwise be handled with the same processing, fees, approval, or disapproval, etc., as if it were a wholly new application.

(c)

Form and Procedure.

(1)

The sheriff shall provide a form of verified application or designate such information as he requires, which can be in the form of a verified statement that there has been no change (or only specified changes) in the latest information in the sheriff's file.

(2)

The renewal application shall be processed as an original application, but the sheriff may omit or simplify procedures he deems unnecessary in each case, such as posting notices in the neighborhood. The sheriff shall recommend renewal or nonrenewal to the board, and shall schedule a hearing thereon before the board only if important evidence needs to be presented thereat; and the board shall order the renewal or nonrenewal.

(3)

Renewal is considered normal in the absence of complaints about deviations from the provisions of this chapter involving the cardroom, licensee, or anyone associated with its business or operation. If the board approves the renewal, the sheriff shall note on the license certificate that it is a renewal. A renewed license is otherwise subject to all the provisions of this chapter concerning cardroom licenses, and may itself be renewed.
