(A) A tobacco retailer’s license may not be transferred from one person to another or from one location to another. Whenever a tobacco retailing location has a change in proprietors, a new tobacco retailer’s license is required.
(B) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, prior violations at a location shall continue to be counted against a location, and license ineligibility periods shall continue to apply to a location unless:
(1) The location has been fully transferred to a new proprietor or fully transferred to entirely new proprietors; and
(2) The new proprietor(s) provide the Department with clear and convincing evidence that the new proprietor(s) have acquired, or are acquiring, the location in an arm’s length transaction.
