(1) The full name and proof of age and proof of address of the applicant (in the case of an individual) or every person entitled to share in the profits thereof (in the case of a copartnership). In the case of a corporation, for profit, or a club, the application shall include the date of incorporation, the objects for which it was organized, the names and addresses of its officers and directors and, if a majority in interest of the stock of such corporation is owned by one person or his or her nominees, the name and address of such person.
(2) The citizenship of the applicant, his or her place of birth and, if he or she is a naturalized citizen, the time and place of his or her naturalization;
(3) The character of business of the applicant and, in the case of a corporation, the objects for which it was formed;
(4) The length of time that such applicant has been in business of that character or, in the case of a corporation, the date on which its charter was issued;
(5) The amount of goods, wares and merchandise on hand at the time the application is made;
(6) The location and a description of the premises or place of business which is to be operated under such license;
(7) A statement as to whether or not the applicant has made any application for a similar license on premises other than those described in the application, and the disposition of such other application;
(8) A statement that the applicant has never been convicted of a felony of any state or Federal law and is not disqualified to receive a license by reason of any matter or thing contained in this chapter, the laws of the State or the ordinances of the Village;
(9) Whether or not a previous license by any state or subdivision thereof, or by the Federal government, has been revoked, and the reason therefor; and
(10) A statement that the applicant will not violate any of the laws of the State or the United States, or any ordinance of the Village, in the conduct of his or her place of business, or willfully misrepresent any information contained in his or her license application.
(b) Club Applicants. In addition to the requirements set forth in subsection (a) hereof, each club applicant shall furnish, to the President of the Board of Trustees and the Village Clerk, a sworn statement giving a complete and accurate list of all its members in good standing as of the date of application and, so long as such club has a license to sell liquor at retail in the Village, shall, on or before May 1 and November 1 in each year, furnish to the President and the Clerk a new sworn statement as required in this subsection.
(c) Fee. Each application shall be accompanied by an application fee as set forth in Section 802.09(b)(1).
(d) Insurance Requirements. No liquor license shall be granted to an applicant until such applicant shall furnish evidence satisfactory to the Local Liquor Commissioner that such applicant is covered by a policy of dram shop insurance issued by a responsible insurance company authorized and licensed to do business in the State and insuring such applicant against liability which such applicant may incur under the provisions of the Illinois Dram Shop Act, 235 ILCS 5/6-21, and specially designating the Village, its officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns, as additional insureds. The evidence of the insurance policy shall indicate that the term of the insurance is of sufficient length to encompass the period of the license sought.
Any applicant granted a liquor license by the Village shall have the affirmative obligation to immediately notify the Village of any lapse, suspension or revocation of the insurance required by this subsection and the obligation shall continue so long as the applicant remains licensed. In the event there is a lapse, suspension or revocation of dram shop insurance, all liquor sales shall be suspended until insurance coverage is restored and the applicant furnishes proof of insurance satisfactory to the Local Liquor Commissioner.
(e) Applicants with Revoked or Suspended Licenses. If a license is revoked or suspended, the requirements of this section shall be complied with prior to the issuance of a new license or the termination of the suspension period.
