Section 750-F. Licenses; display; renewal; duplicates

1. All licenses
  shall be for a period of two years.
    2.  No  license  shall  be  assignable  or  transferable   except   as
  hereinafter provided.
    3.  A  license  to conduct the business of operating a pet cemetery or
  pet crematorium issued to an individual may be assigned  or  transferred
  for  the remainder of the license period to a partnership or corporation
  if such individual is a member of such partnership or an officer of such
  corporation at the time of such assignment or transfer. A license issued
  to a partnership may be assigned or transferred for the remainder of the
  license period to any  one  member  of  such  partnership,  provided  he
  obtains  the  consent of all of the other members of such partnership. A
  license issued to a corporation may be assigned or transferred  for  the
  remainder  of  the  license  period  to  any officer of the corporation,
  provided he obtains the consent of all of the  other  officers  of  such
  corporation.  The  application  for  such transfer or assignment must be
  accompanied by the requirements of section seven hundred fifty-e of this
  article  and  by  proof  satisfactory  to  the   department   that   the
  requirements  herein  provided have been complied with. No assignment or
  transfer shall become effective unless and  until  the  endorsement  has
  been made on the face of the license by the department and such license,
  so  endorsed,  has been returned to the assignee or transferee. All such
  endorsements shall be made without payment  of  any  fee.  A  bona  fide
  purchaser  of  such  business from the holder of the license thereof may
  continue to use the license of the seller from the  date  of  the  sale,
  provided  there  is  endorsed  on  the  face  thereof  the  name  of the
  purchaser, the date of the sale, and the signature of the seller and the
  purchaser; and provided further within five days from the  date  of  the
  sale, an application, in accordance with the provisions of this article,
  shall  be  presented  by  the  purchaser to the secretary of state for a
  license to conduct the business of  operating  a  pet  cemetery  or  pet
  crematorium.  Such  license shall be valid until the purchaser's license
  application is either granted or denied by the secretary of state.
    4. A license to conduct the business of operating a  pet  cemetery  or
  pet  crematorium issued to an individual or to a partnership may be used
  after the death of the licensed individual or co-partner by his next  of
  kin  or  duly  appointed  administrator  or  executor in the name of the
  estate from the date of death of such individual or co-partner, provided
  that there is endorsed upon the face of the license after  the  name  of
  the  decedent the word "deceased", the date of death and the name of the
  next of kin, administrator or executor under whose authority the license
  is being used, provided that within thirty days from the date  of  death
  of  the  licensee,  an application, in accordance with the provisions of
  this article, shall be presented by the next of  kin,  administrator  or
  executor to the secretary of state for a license to conduct the business
  of  operating  a  pet cemetery or pet crematorium. Such license shall be
  valid until the next of kin's,  administrator's  or  executor's  license
  application is either granted or denied by the secretary of state.
    5.  A  license  to conduct the business of operating a pet cemetery or
  pet crematorium shall be conspicuously posted upon  the  premises  where
  the  licensee  is engaged in the business of operating a pet cemetery or
  pet crematorium.
    6. Any license which has not been suspended or revoked, may, upon  the
  payment  of  the  renewal fee prescribed by this article, be renewed for
  additional periods of two years from its expiration, upon the filing  of
  an  application  for  such  renewal,  on  a form to be prescribed by the
  secretary of state.

    7. Any person failing to file application and fee  for  renewal  of  a
  license  to  conduct  the  business  of  operating a pet cemetery or pet
  crematorium within forty-five days immediately following the  expiration
  of his or her last license shall pay an additional fee of sixty dollars,
  and  if  he  or she fails to file application and fee for renewal within
  ninety days he or she shall be ineligible for such license until  he  or
  she shall have again met the requirements set forth in this article.
    8.  A  duplicate  license  may  be  issued  for one lost, destroyed or
  mutilated  upon  application  therefor  on  a  form  prescribed  by  the
  secretary  of  state  and  the payment of the fee prescribed therefor by
  this  article.  Each  such  duplicate  license  shall  have   the   word
  "duplicate"  stamped  across  the  face  thereof and shall bear the same
  number as the one it replaces.
    9. Notice in writing shall be given  the  secretary  of  state  within
  thirty days at his or her office in Albany by the holder of a license to
  conduct  the  business of operating a pet cemetery or pet crematorium of
  any change in address of the business or residence of the person engaged
  in the business of operating a pet cemetery or pet crematorium  together
  with the return of license, whereupon a properly signed endorsement will
  be  made  on  the  face of the license as to such change and the license
  then returned to the licensee. A change of address by a licensee without
  such notice and endorsement of  license  shall  operate  to  cancel  the
  license.
