(b) The licensing authority shall not approve the transfer of the license issued under this section to any other location, but it may grant the license to a new applicant at the same location if the applicant files with the licensing authority a letter from the department of revenue and a letter from the department of unemployment assistance indicating the license is in good standing with those departments and that all applicable taxes, fees, and contributions have been paid. (c) If the licensee terminates or fails to renew the license granted under this section or if such license is cancelled, revoked or no longer in use, it shall be returned physically, with all of the legal rights, privileges and restrictions pertaining thereto to the licensing authority, which may, within 3 years after such return, then grant the license to a new applicant at the same location and under the same conditions as specified in this section, otherwise such license shall dissolve. (d) The license granted under this section shall be issued within 3 years after the effective date of this act; provided, however, that if the license is originally granted within that time period it may be granted to a new applicant under subsections (b) and (c) thereafter.
This act shall take place upon its passage.
