(c)

In addition to the application fee for a new permanent license as specified in subdivision (a), an annual renewal fee, as set forth in subdivision (b), shall accompany the application. The application fee shall be nonrefundable up to the amount of the application fee in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a), as adjusted by subdivisions (d) and (e). The annual fee provided at the time of application shall allow the license to be active for one year from the date of issuance and shall be refundable only in the event that the license application is withdrawn or denied.
If an application includes multiple new permanent licenses to be issued at the same premises, the application fee shall be required for only one of the applied-for licenses and an application fee shall not be charged for the remainder of the licenses. In situations involving different license types, the application fee to be paid shall be the highest such fee as specified in subdivision (a). If an application for a new permanent license is combined with an application for license transfer pursuant to Section 24072 at the same premises, only the transfer application fee or the new permanent license application fee shall be required, whichever is highest. Notwithstanding this provision, the annual renewal fee required pursuant to this subdivision shall be payable for each license.

(d) Beginning January 1, 2021, and each January 1 thereafter, the department may adjust each of the fees specified in this section by increasing each fee by an amount not to exceed the percentage that the California Consumer Price Index (California Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Statistics and Research, All Items, Base Period 1982-84=100) for the preceding August 2019, and each August annually thereafter, has increased under the same index over the month of August 2018, which shall be the base period. The department shall not adjust fees pursuant to this section if the balance of the Alcohol Beverage Control Fund at the end of the prior fiscal year is greater than one-fourth of the department’s appropriation from the Alcohol Beverage Control Fund for the current fiscal year. No fee shall be decreased pursuant to this adjustment below the fee currently in effect on each December 31. If the accumulation of percentage increases is greater than 8 percent, the department shall not adjust fees without the Legislature’s approval through the budget process. In the event that this index is discontinued, the department shall consult with the Department of Finance to convert the increase calculations to an index then available. When approved by the Department of Finance, the new index shall replace the discontinued index.

(e) When fees are adjusted pursuant to subdivision (d), the department shall calculate the percentage increase as specified in that subdivision and shall apply this increase to each fee. The increase to each fee shall be rounded to the nearest whole five dollars ($5). The adjusted fee list, to be effective on January 1 of the upcoming year, shall be published by the department on its internet website and transmitted in writing to the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee no later than January 10 of the year before it becomes effective. This adjustment of fees and publication of the adjusted fee list is not subject to the requirements of Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code.

§ 23320.4. Waiver of renewal fees for licenses expiring between March 1, 2021 and February 28, 2023

(a)

For the purpose of providing economic relief to licensees most severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the department may waive license renewal fees for licenses with expiration dates between March 1, 2021, and February 28, 2023, inclusive, as provided in this section.
The waiver of license renewal fees shall apply only to the following license types that were active, as defined by the department in its guidelines, between March 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020, inclusive: 02, 23, 40, 41, 42, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 64, 68, 69, 71, 72, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 83, 86, 87, and 99. Waiver of license renewal fees for a Type 02 license under this section shall apply only to the fees charged pursuant to subparagraphs (A), (B), and (C) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 23320, using production volumes as reported pursuant to Section 23327 for the fiscal year ending on the same date of the expiring license. Type 02 license renewal fees charged pursuant to subparagraph (D), (E), (F), or (G) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 23320 shall not be eligible for a waiver under this section.

(b)

A licensee may request a fee waiver in the manner provided by the department and shall certify under penalty of perjury that they qualify for the fee waiver as provided. The request shall be complete and received by the department before the expiration of the license for which the waiver is requested, including any authorized extensions thereto.
For licenses that expire during the first full three months following enactment of this section, the department may extend license renewal dates, not to exceed 60 days, as necessary to effectuate the intent of this section and to allow licensees a reasonable amount of time to request a fee waiver.
If the licensee does not request the fee waiver in the manner prescribed in paragraph (1), the licensee shall not be eligible for a fee waiver and shall thereafter pay the license renewal fees, together with any penalties that may be applicable under Section 24048.
The department shall not refund any license renewal fees paid before the enactment of this section or the submission of a waiver request by a licensee.

(c)

The department shall establish and publish on its internet website the requirements and guidelines for submitting a fee waiver request and the manner of certification.
