4-2-9: PRIVILEGE GRANTED BY LICENSE:
A liquor license granted pursuant to this chapter is solely a personal privilege and, unless sooner revoked pursuant to this chapter or by federal or state law, shall last for no more than one year, from January 1 (or later for an initial application) through December 31, except for classes H, K, and L licenses which shall expire on the date specified thereon. A license shall not constitute property and may not be transferred. It shall not be used as collateral, nor be subject to voluntary or involuntary attachment, assignment, garnishment, or execution, encumbrance or hypothecation, nor shall it descend by the laws of testate or intestate devolution. Renewal of the license is a privilege and shall not be construed as a vested right which shall limit or prevent the decreasing of the number of licenses to be issued within the village. No license shall be renewed under this section unless the manager of the licensed establishment, and each employee of the licensee who is or will be engaged in the selling, mixing, preparing, or serving of alcoholic liquor at the licensed premises, have successfully completed an alcohol sales and service training program.
