A license transfer application may be made to the city manager in the following situations:
A. A change of location not involving any change in identity of the licensee;
B. A change in business organization (for example, incorporation of a sole proprietorship or partnership) where there is no change in the identity of the principals holding the license, except where the transfer is made pursuant to subsection C of this section;
C. An application by a spouse or children of a licensee with the licensee's consent while the licensee is still living to add the spouse or children to the license to form any type of business entity legally available, or on the death of a licensee where the application is made on behalf of the deceased licensee's surviving business associates operating the same business, or spouse or children of the deceased licensee, provided that the spouse or children first obtain a state gambling license.
D. An application by a successor in interest to a licensee for the issuance of a license in the successor in interest's name(s), for purposes of operating the same business.
An application for the transfer of a cardroom license made under this section shall be made to the city manager considered and acted upon in the same manner as an application for an original license. An application approved by the city manager under this section shall become effective upon issuance of the applicant's state gambling license. If the state gambling license is not issued within one hundred eighty (180) days of the city manager's approval and the state application is not pending, the approval shall be deemed rescinded and the license shall be subject to revocation as provided in this chapter.
