Article 2B, Section 10-504, 506
(a) If a licensee closes the licensed premises for ten days or more, the licensee must inform the Board in writing immediately upon closing, giving the reason for closing, the estimated time the premises will not be operated, and the licensee's future intentions as to the use of the license.
(b) On the tenth day after a licensee has, in the opinion of the Board, ceased operations without notifying the Board that the licensed premises would be closed, or been evicted from the premises for which the license was issued, the license shall expire unless an application for approval of a transfer of the license to another location, or to another person, or, following the death of a licensee, an application for a certificate of permission to continue the business for up to 18 months, has been approved or is pending. However, in order to avoid undue hardship, the Board may, in its discretion, postpone the expiration for an additional period not exceeding twenty (20) days.
(c) In the event that an emergency situation or other exigent circumstances relating to the public health, safety, or welfare is determined to exist at or in the vicinity of a licensed premises, in which, in the opinion of any federal, state, county, or local municipality, the continued operation of the licensed premises would pose an immediate threat to the peace, safety, or general welfare of the community, the said governmental agency, through its duly authorized representative, will be entitled to order the closure of the licensed premises for the hours remaining prior to legal closing.
