68.
(a) The holder of any expiring license, other than special
licenses issued under the provisions of this article, shall, not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days before the first day of May of
each and every year, file a written application, duly verified by
oath, for the renewal of the license with the official authorized
to approve the same. The renewal application shall state that
the facts in the original application are unchanged. It shall be
accompanied by a statement signed by the owner of the premises
consenting to renewal of the license and to search and seizure as
in the the case of original applications. In the case of retail
dealers applying for renewal, the statement of consent by the
owner of the premises may not be required if the owner has
previously signed such a statement in connection with an original
application or previous renewal application giving consent for
the term of the owner's lease with the applicant if the lease or
renewal does not expire during the term of the renewal license.
In Prince George's County, if an applicant for renewal under this
subsection or subsection [68](f) of this [article] SECTION
complies with the requirement of submitting a statement or
certificate of approval signed by the owner of the premises
consenting to renewal of the license and to inspection and
searches of the premises, as in the case of original
applications, the Prince George's County board of license
commissioners may not require an applicant to hold a lease on the
premises for the full term or any portion of the license renewal
period. Upon the filing of the renewal application, and upon
payment of the annual fee, the holder of the expiring license is
entitled to a new license for another year without the filing of
further statements or the furnishing of any further information
unless specifically requested by the official authorized to
approve the license. A license by way of renewal may not be
approved without a hearing before such official if a protest has
been filed against the granting of the new license at least 30
days, and in Prince George's County no later than March 1 of the
year in which the license expires, before the expiration of the
license for which renewal is sought. This protest shall be (1)
signed by not less than ten residents or real estate owners in
the immediate vicinity in which the licensed place of business is
located; or (2) instituted by the Board of Licensing
Commissioners on its own initiative; or (3) in Prince George's
County, instituted by the municipality in which the licensed
place of business is located subsequent to a public hearing by
the municipality. If the protest has been filed it shall be
heard and determined as in the case of original applications,
except in Baltimore City it shall be heard and determined not as
in the case of original application in regard to zoning but only
on a specific complaint as to the operation of the licensee's
establishments.
