§ 52-3.323. Transfer.

(a)

General. The board may allow a cardroom license that has been continuously valid since January 1, 1976, to be transferred to another licensee. This transferability is entirely subject to the sheriff's prior approval (as to all the requirements of this chapter) of the transferee as though he were a new applicant; it does not create any right in any license (as either a prospective transferor or prospective transferee) which can be reached by or transferred or assigned to a creditor, spouse, heir, or otherwise, but is at most a mere contingent expectancy wholly dependent on prior official approval and on compliance with all the requirements of this chapter (including future amendments).

(b)

Procedure. An application for transfer shall follow the procedure for other license applications, including the application fee, investigation, report, notice, hearing, findings and conditions.

(c)

New License; Fee. If the transfer is approved, the new license is for the remainder of the one-year life of the former license, and no license fee is due but a transfer fee of one thousand dollars is payable before the new license issues.

(d)

Transfer Defined. "Transfer" means any change required by this chapter in the information on the application or license or in any other disclosure, concerning the identity of any licensee (except name changes caused by marriage or dissolution) or the location ownership or character of the premises. It includes the addition of one or more names to the license, whether or not already named licensee(s) remain(s).
