The Department of Consumer Protection or Liquor Control Commission may, in the department’s or commission’s discretion, issue to any applicant, who makes a sworn application for a liquor permit under section 30-39, and such applicant’s backer, if any, a ninety-day provisional permit allowing such applicant and backer to manufacture or sell, at retail, alcoholic liquor. If such applicant or backer causes any delay in the investigation conducted by the department pursuant to section 30-39, such ninety-day provisional permit shall immediately cease to be effective. The department or commission shall issue only one ninety-day provisional permit to any such applicant and applicant’s backer for each location of the club or place of business which is to be operated under such permit. Such ninety-day provisional permit shall be nonrenewable, but may be extended due to delays not caused by the applicant. The department or commission shall not extend such permit beyond one year from the filing date, as defined in section 30-39. The nonrefundable fee for such ninety-day provisional permit shall be five hundred dollars.
