(A) General. A license issued under this chapter shall be purely a personal privilege. It is valid for 12 months from date of issue unless revoked sooner as authorized and provided for in this chapter. The license shall not constitute property nor shall it be subject to attachment, garnishment or execution. It shall not be alienable or transferable, voluntarily or involuntarily, nor shall it be subject to becoming encumbered or hypothecated. The license shall not descend by the laws of testate or intestate devolution, but it shall cease upon the death of the licensee. When an estate consists of a license to sell alcoholic liquor, the executors or administrators of the deceased's estate may continue the sale of alcoholic liquor; provided, a court having jurisdiction over the estate issues an order to this effect. This is also true for the trustees of an insolvent or bankrupt licensee. In these cases, the privileges of the deceased, insolvent or bankrupt licensee continues until the expiration of the license. They must then submit an application of their own as prescribed in § 110.04.
(B) Location. A retail dealer's liquor license permits the sale of alcoholic liquor only on the premises described in the application and license. Village staff may issue a written permit to make any changes in the location specified in the license.
(C) Display of license. Every licensee, under this chapter, shall frame and hang his, her or its liquor license in plain view in the premises.
(D) Exceptions to closing hours. All places licensed to sell retail liquor or beer within the village may remain open for business until the hour of 3:00 a.m. on January 1 of each year. Village staff and the Board of Trustees may extend the business hours of licensees of the village for other special occasions.
(E) Legal age. Nothing in this chapter allows persons between the age of 18 and 21 years to tend bar, sell, draw, pour, mix or serve any alcoholic liquor for on site consumption. Persons between the age of 18 and 21 years may sell and serve alcoholic liquor in retail businesses operating under Class “A”, “C” or “D” license as long as that person is under the direct “on site” supervision of a person at least 21 years of age.
(F) Election days. All places selling alcoholic liquors at retail within the village may remain open during election hours on all election days. However, during the hours of any election, during the canvas of votes, or the marking of returns, no person shall bring or try to bring, take, order or send into any room where the election or primary is in progress any distilled or spirituous liquors whatever. Nor shall any person at any time consume alcoholic liquors in an election place. Exception: The Shiloh Village Improvement Association Hall (Klucker Hall) as an authorized voting place is exempt only from the provision of having alcohol on premises during an election. Also exempted is the delivery of alcoholic liquors by a distributor and receipt by a representative of the improvement association not involved in the elective process.
(G) Open view into interior. Locations with a license to sell alcoholic liquor for consumption on the premises must maintain a clear view into the entire interior. No screen, blind, curtain, partition, article or obstruction may be in the windows or upon the doors of the premises to prevent a clear view from the street, sidewalk or parking lot entrance.
(H) Complaint by residents. Any five village residents have the right to file a complaint with village staff about violations by any licensee of this chapter, any amendments or any of the statutes of the state. The complaints shall be in writing, signed and sworn to by all complainants. The complaint must contain the particular provision, rule or regulation to which they believe a violation has occurred. It should also give detailed facts surrounding the violation(s) on which they base the complaint. If village staff believes the facts substantiate a violation exists, the staff will schedule a hearing as prescribed in § 110.11.
