If a township in the County shall by vote of the people prohibit the sale at retail of alcoholic liquor, no such licenses issued and operating within such territory shall be transferable to other townships, but shall be deemed belonging to such territory and shall remain inoperative until the people, by popular vote, reestablish the sale of alcoholic liquor in such territory, at which time such licensee shall have priority right to renewal; provided, that all provisions of the law and this chapter have been complied with. (Ord., 11-14-1995)
