A transferred license or permit shall expire on the same date as the original license or permit. The owner of a license or the executor or administrator of the estate of any deceased licensee, by an actual bona fide sale made in good faith, may, if proceedings are not pending to suspend, revoke or otherwise penalize under this chapter the license holder, assign and transfer such license. The assignee or transferee thereof, subject to the condition and approval stated in this section, may exercise the privilege of continuing the business authorized by such license without the payment of any additional license fee until the expiration of the same; provided, that such assignee or transferee shall first make and file a sworn application showing the qualifications of such person or assignee or transferee to take and hold a retail liquor license as required by section 2-2-3 of this chapter, and subject to the approval of the governing body first had and obtained; provided, that the governing body shall notify in writing the state liquor commission at least ten (10) days prior to the approval of such transfer or sale.

No person other than the licensee, or the agent named in the license if the licensee is a corporation or limited liability company, shall serve alcoholic beverages in any place operated under a liquor license unless he/she shall possess such operator's license, or unless he/she shall be under the immediate supervision of the licensee or a person holding an operator's license who shall be at the time of such service upon said premises.
