(A) Transfer of license. No license issued under this chapter shall be assigned or transferred to any other person. A license shall not be deemed to authorize any person, other than the named licensee, to conduct business for which the license has been issued nor to authorize any other person, business, trade or profession to conduct business permitted under the authority of such license.
(B) Revocation of license. Any license issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter may be revoked by the Town Council due to:
(1) The failure of the licensee to comply with the requirements of this chapter or any other regulation of the town, the state or the United States; or
(2) The conduct of any unlawful activities, or the permitting of such activities, on the premises of the business.
(C) Notice of revocation. Prior to the revocation of a license or denial of an application to renew a license, the licensee or applicant shall be given notice stating the reason(s) the Town Council intends to revoke the license or deny the application for renewal and the date of the meeting at which such action shall be taken. Notice shall be given a least ten days prior to such meeting, but not more than 30 days prior. The licensee or applicant shall have the right to appear before the Council, and to be represented by legal counsel, to hear the evidence supporting such action and shall have the right to present evidence as to why the license should not be revoked or the application denied.
(D) Reciprocal recognition of licenses.
(1) No license shall be required for operation of any vehicle or equipment in the town when:
(a) Such vehicle is merely passing through the town; and
(b) Such vehicle is used exclusively for inter-town or interstate commerce.
(2) No license shall be required of any person whose only business activity in this municipality is the mere delivery of property sold by such person at a regular place of business maintained outside the town where:
(a) Such person’s business is at the time of delivery licensed by a state municipality or county in which such place of business is situated;
(b) The authority licensing such business grants to licensees of the town making deliveries within its jurisdiction, the same privilege upon substantially the same terms, as granted under this section; and
(c) Neither the property delivered nor any of the facilities by which it was manufactured, produced or processed are subject to inspection by the town for compliance with health or sanitary standards.
(3) The License Officer shall, at the request of any person, certify a copy of this section to any municipality or county of the state.
