State Liquor Authority Licenses Currently Operating Under SAPA

If a renewal allocation is filed on time (at least 7 days before the expiration date) and is complete, the licensee will be allowed to “operate under SAPA” if the renewal application is not approved (or disapproved) before the expiration date. SAPA (the State Administrative Procedure Act) allows the licensee to continue to operate under the expired license until a decision is made on the renewal application.

若许可证续期申请按时（至少在有效期前7天）提交且内容完备，则即使续期申请在截止日期前未获批准（或未予拒绝），许可证持有人仍可依据SAPA（国家行政程序法）继续在失效许可证下运营，直至续期申请的裁决结果揭晓。
