(a)
The Commission shall renew a License upon request of the Licensee
provided that the Licensee has, at all times during the term of the License, complied with
all material terms of the License, of this Act, and of any regulation that the Commission
may prescribe pursuant to this Act. The Licensee must apply for renewal not later than
90 days prior to the expiration of the then current License term. In the event that the
Commission has not acted upon the renewal application prior to the expiration date of the
then current License term, the Licensee may continue to operate in accordance with the
terms of the License until such time as the Commission acts upon the renewal
application.
(b)
In the event that the Commission concludes that the Licensee has
committed a material breach of the terms of the License, of this Act, or of any regulation
that the Commission may prescribe pursuant to this Act, the Commission may, in its
discretion, deny the renewal application or impose such lesser penalty as it may deem
appropriate. The Commission shall at all times follow a transparent process in
accordance with Sections 331-334 of this Act in determining whether to grant or deny the
renewal application. In any case in which the Commission denies a renewal application
or imposes another penalty as a consequence of a material breach of the terms of the
License, of this Act, or of any regulation that the Commission may prescribe pursuant to
this Act, the Commission shall issue its decision on the matter, in writing, explaining in
detail the reasons for its action.
