The department shall notify each holder of a license by mail addressed to the holder's last known address, or, if the license holder has so elected, by electronic, telephonic, or other means, 30 days prior to the expiration date thereof of a place and time when he or she shall appear for the issuance of a new license and any availability of electronic license renewal.
