ARTICLE 3.--LICENSING AND RELATED PROVISIONS; CITY OPTION

41-326. Licenses; term; assignability; refund of fees, when.

A license shall be purely a personal privilege, valid for not to exceed one year after issuance, unless sooner suspended or revoked, and shall not constitute property, nor shall it be subject to attachment, garnishment or execution, nor shall it be alienable or transferable, voluntarily or involuntarily, or subject to being encumbered or hypothecated. A license shall not descend by the laws of testate or intestate devolution but shall cease and expire upon the death of the licensee except that executors, administrators or representatives of the estate of any deceased licensee and the trustee of any insolvent or bankrupt licensee, when such estate consists in part of alcoholic liquor, may continue the business of the sale, distribution or manufacture of alcoholic liquor under order of the appropriate court and may exercise the privilege of the deceased, insolvent or bankrupt licensee after the death of such decedent, or after such insolvency or bankruptcy, until the expiration of such license but not longer than one year after the death, bankruptcy or insolvency of such licensee.

A refund shall be made of that portion of the license fee paid for any period in which the licensee shall be prevented from operating under such license in accordance with the provisions of this section. The secretary of revenue may adopt rules and regulations pursuant to K.S.A. 41-210 and amendments thereto which provide for the authorization of refunds of that portion of the license fees paid for any period in which the licensee does not use such license as a result of the cancellation of the license upon the request of the licensee for voluntary reasons.
