A. No license issued by the city under this chapter shall be transferable under any circumstances, including but not limited to the sale of the massage business.
B. Upon the effective date of the sale of a massage business, the license for the massage business shall expire. If a licensee sells a massage business, the licensee shall promptly surrender the license to the business license official no later than the effective date of the sale. This obligation is not dependent on the business license official's requesting the surrender, but arises as a result of the sale of the massage business. If the licensee fails to surrender the license to the business license official as required by this subsection, the business license official may, after giving the licensee notice by mail or electronically of the proposed action and an opportunity to respond, establish that the license has expired and hence is not a valid license, and that it must be surrendered.
