Conn. Gen. Stat. § 30-14

Current with legislation from the 2024 Regular and Special Sessions.

Section 30-14 - Nature and duration of permit. Renewal by transferee or purchaser of permit premises

(a) Each permit shall be a purely personal privilege that is revocable in the discretion of the Department of Consumer Protection, and subject to appeal, as provided in section 30-55. Except as otherwise provided in the general statutes, including, but not limited to, sections 30-35, 30-37g and 30-37u, each permit shall expire annually. No permit shall constitute property, be subject to attachment and execution or be alienable, except a permit shall descend to the estate of a deceased permittee by the laws of testate or intestate succession. An airline permit issued under section 30-28a or a cafe permit issued under subsection (h) of section 30-22a shall be granted to the airline corporation or railway corporation and not to any person, and the corporation shall be the permittee.

(b) Any permit in this part, except a permit issued under sections 30-35, 30-37g and 30-37u, may be issued for a continuous period of not more than six consecutive calendar months, at two-thirds of regular fees, but rebate of fees shall not be permitted for any unexpired portion of the term of a permit revoked by reason of a violation of any provision of this chapter.

(c) The executors or administrators of the estate of any deceased permittee, and the trustees of any insolvent or bankrupt estate of a permittee, when such estate consists in whole or in part of alcoholic liquor, may continue the business of the sale or manufacture of alcoholic liquor under order of the appropriate court and may exercise the privileges of the deceased or insolvent or bankrupt permittee for a period not exceeding six months after the date of such decease or of such insolvency or bankruptcy, or until such time as the applicable permit expires, whichever date is later. A certified copy of the order of the court authorizing the continuance of such business shall be filed with the department. In the event of the death, insolvency or bankruptcy of a backer, the permittee of such backer shall have the same rights and privileges as set forth in this section, provided, in addition to the order of said court, the executor or administrator of the estate of any deceased backer, or the trustee of any insolvent or bankrupt estate of a backer, shall file a notice with the department that he has authorized such permittee to continue such business.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this section, a package store permit may be renewed by a transferee or purchaser of permit premises under section 30-14a.
