Section 114. Licenses, publication, general provisions  


Latest version.
  • 1. All licenses
      issued pursuant to this chapter shall be distinctive in color and design
      so as to be readily distinguishable from each other.
        2.  No  license  shall  be  transferable  or  assignable  except  that
      notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  law,  the  license of a sole
      proprietor converting to corporate form, where such  proprietor  becomes
      the  sole  stockholder  and  only  officer  and  director  of  such  new
      corporation, may be  transferred  to  the  subject  corporation  if  all
      requirements  of  this  chapter  remain  the  same  with respect to such
      license as transferred and, further, the licensee shall transmit to  the
      authority,  within  ten  days of the transfer of license allowable under
      this subdivision, on a form prescribed by the authority, notification of
      the transfer of such license.
        3. No license shall be pledged or deposited as collateral security for
      any loan or upon any other condition; and any such  pledge  or  deposit,
      and any contract providing therefor, shall be void.
        4.  Licenses  issued  under this chapter shall contain, in addition to
      any further information or material to be prescribed by the rules of the
      liquor authority, the following information: (a) Name of person to  whom
      license  is  issued;  (b)  kind  of  license and what kind of traffic in
      alcoholic beverages is thereby permitted; (c) description by street  and
      number, or otherwise, of licensed premises; (d) a statement in substance
      that  such  license  shall not be deemed a property or vested right, and
      that it may be revoked at any time pursuant to law.
        5. There shall be printed and furnished by  the  liquor  authority  to
      each  licensee  a  statement  of  the  causes  for which licenses may be
      revoked. Such statement shall be prepared by the  liquor  authority  and
      delivered  to the licensee with his license or as soon thereafter as may
      be practicable. Any amendments thereto shall also be sent by the  liquor
      authority  to  all  licensees  as  soon as may be practicable after such
      amendments. Failure to send  such  statements  or  changes  therein,  or
      failure  to  receive the same, or any misstatement or error contained in
      such statements or amendments  shall,  however,  not  be  an  excuse  or
      justification  for  any  violation  of  law,  or  prevent,  or remit, or
      decrease any penalty or forfeiture therefor.
        6. Before commencing or doing any business for the time  for  which  a
      license  has  been  issued  said license shall be enclosed in a suitable
      wood or metal frame having a clear glass space and a substantial wood or
      metal back so that the whole of said license may be  seen  therein,  and
      shall  be posted up and at all times displayed in a conspicuous place in
      the room where such business is carried on, so that all persons visiting
      such place may readily see the same. It shall be unlawful for any person
      holding a license to post such license or to permit such license  to  be
      posted  upon premises other than the premises licensed, or upon premises
      where traffic in alcoholic beverages is being carried on by  any  person
      other  than  the  licensee, or knowingly to deface, destroy or alter any
      such license in any  respect.  Whenever  a  license  shall  be  lost  or
      destroyed  without  fault  on  the part of the licensee or his agents or
      employees, a duplicate license in lieu thereof  may  be  issued  by  the
      liquor authority in its discretion and in accordance with such rules and
      regulations and the payment of such fees, not exceeding five dollars, as
      it may prescribe.
