Kentucky Revised Statutes Title XX. Alcoholic Beverages § 243.430.Denial of application for license; time frame for denial, approval, or issuance of license

Any license for which public notice under KRS 243.360 is required may conditionally be issued in less than thirty (30) days from the date the application is received if the premises has previously operated under the same type of license within the last twelve (12) months.

(3) The state administrator shall deny, approve, or issue licenses when, in the sound discretion of the administrator, all of the information necessary has been obtained or the applicant has refused to provide requested information.
