Sec. 9.5. (a) The commission shall provide procedures and forms to allow an applicant for the renewal of a retailer’s or dealer’s permit to file a simplified application.

     (b) An applicant for renewal does not have to be present during the local board proceedings on the renewal unless notified by the commission or the local board. However, a local board may not take any action to deny the renewal of a retailer’s or dealer’s permit unless the applicant has been notified and given an opportunity to be present at an investigation before the local board.

     (c) For the purpose of implementing this section, the commissioner may prorate permits of persons holding more than one (1) retailer’s or dealer’s permit so that those permits terminate at one (1) time and the renewed permits of that person shall have the same termination date.

     (d) In a county containing a consolidated city, the renewal of a retailer’s or dealer’s permit is subject to this section and IC 7.1-3-1-5.6.
