(a) A license is valid only for the location identified on the license and cannot be transferred to another location within the city without a new application.
(b) Conducting a primary caregiver operation or a dispensary is a violation of federal law. A license does not prohibit prosecution by the federal government of its laws. Nor does a license prohibit prosecution by state authorities for violations of the act or other violations not protected by the act. A valid license shall not be construed as providing any protection beyond prosecution by the city of Mason for conducting a primary caregiver operation or a dispensary without a license.
(c) Compliance with city ordinances and state statutes is a condition of maintenance of a license and a license may be suspended for cause pursuant to the provisions of this chapter.
(d) Suspension of a license is not an exclusive remedy and nothing contained herein is intended to limit the city's ability to prosecute code violations that may have been the cause of the suspension or any other code violations not protected by this act.
(e) No person who has not been identified as a primary caregiver on an application with the city clerk, or subsequent filing with the city clerk pursuant to the requirements of this article, shall be deemed to be licensed.
(f) Any changes to the act or any decisions by a court of competent jurisdiction which would render a license issued under this article void or otherwise ineffective, shall result in the immediate expiration of any license issued under this section.
(g) Each day that a person shall conduct a primary caregiver operation or a dispensary without a license shall constitute a separate offense.
