§ 125.06 ISSUANCE AND RENEWAL OF LICENSE.
   (A)   Upon receipt of an application for a tobacco retailer’s license and the license fee, the city shall issue a license unless:
      (1)   The application is incomplete or inaccurate; or
      (2)   The application seeks authorization for tobacco retailing by a proprietor for which or whom a suspension is in effect or by a proprietor which or who has had a license revoked; or
      (3)   The application seeks authorization for tobacco retailing that is unlawful pursuant to this code, or that is unlawful pursuant to any other local, state or federal law; or
      (4)   The city has information that the proprietor or his or her agent or employee has violated any local, state or federal tobacco control law, other than selling tobacco products without the license required by this subchapter, within the preceding 30-day period;
      (5)   The city has information that the proprietor or his or her agent or employee has sold tobacco products without the required tobacco retailer’s license, within the previous 90-day period.
   (B)   A license shall be valid for one year and must be renewed no later than 30 days prior to the expiration of the payment term.
   (C)   If the information required in the license application pursuant to section § 125.05(C)(1), (2) or (3) changes, a new tobacco retailer’s license is required before the business may continue to act as a tobacco retailer. For example, if a proprietor to whom a license has been issued changes business location, that proprietor must apply for new license prior to acting as a tobacco retailer at the new location. If the business is sold, the new owner must apply for a license for that location before acting as a tobacco retailer.
