6.1 Permits to Expire on June 30. All permits and licenses shall expire on June 30 of each year. Only those applications received by this deadline shall be considered timely. The responsibility of timely renewal is placed entirely upon the permit holder, and shall not be transferred to any employee, firm, agent, or other third party, including the postal service. All permit holders who desire to retain their permits must apply for renewal on the forms provided by the Board.

6.2 Expired Permit. Each permit not renewed on or before June 30 shall expire. The holder of an expired permit must, after sixty (60) days (September 1), submit a new application and pay all late fees before receiving a new permit. The holder of the expired permit shall not be permitted to purchase, sell, barter, give away or otherwise distribute cigarettes or other tobacco products in the State of Arkansas during the time he is not the holder of a valid, unexpired permit. However, this provision shall not bar the holder of an expired permit to return cigarettes or other tobacco products to the wholesaler.
