    Amendment No.    





 1         (5)  The division shall waive the transfer fee and the

 2  delinquent penalties, but not the license renewal fee, when

 3  the transfer of an interest in an alcoholic beverage license

 4  occurs by operation of law because of a death, judicial

 5  proceedings, court appointment of a fiduciary, foreclosure or

 6  forced judicial sale, bankruptcy proceedings, or seizure of a

 7  license by a government agency.

 8         (6)(a)  Notwithstanding any other provision of law,

 9  except as provided in paragraph (b), any license issued after

10  October 1, 2000, under s. 561.20(1) shall not be transferable

11  in any manner, directly or indirectly, including by any change

12  in stock, partnership shares, or other form of ownership of

13  any entity holding the license, except by probate or

14  guardianship proceedings. Any attempted assignment, sale, or

15  transfer of interest in such license, directly or indirectly,

16  in violation of this provision is hereby declared void and the

17  license shall be deemed abandoned and shall revert to the

18  state to be issued in the manner provided by law for issuance

19  of new licenses.

20         (b)  A license issued after October 1, 2000, under s.

21  561.20(1) may be transferred as provided by law only upon

22  payment to the division of a transfer fee in an amount equal

23  to fifty times the annual license fee specified in s.

24  565.02(1)(b)-(f) in the county in which the license is valid.

25  However, if the county is only authorized for the issuance of

26  a liquor license for package sales only, the transfer fee

27  shall be an amount equal to fifty times the annual license fee

28  specified in s. 565.02(1)(a). The transfer fee provided for in

29  this paragraph shall be in addition to any other transfer fee

30  provided by paragraph (3)(a).

26  type and series for which the application has been submitted,

27  to be valid for all purposes under the Beverage Law, except as

28  provided in paragraph (b).

11  shall not be continued or extended beyond the date the

12  division denies the application for license, beyond 14 days

13  after the date the division approves the application for

14  license, or beyond the date the applicant pays the license fee

15  for and the division issues the license applied for, or beyond

16  the date the temporary initial license otherwise expires by

17  law, whichever date occurs first. If the department issues a

18  notice of intent to deny the license application for failure

19  of the applicant to disclose the information required by s.

21  shall not be extended during any proceeding for administrative

22  or judicial review pursuant to chapter 120.

23         (3)(4)  Each applicant seeking a temporary initial

24  license shall pay to the division for such license a fee equal

25  to one-fourth of the annual license fee for the type and

26  series of license being applied for or $100, whichever is

    Amendment No.    





 1  transfer, change of location, or change of type or series.--

 2         (1)  Upon the filing of a properly completed

 3  application for transfer pursuant to s. 561.32, which

 4  application does not on its face disclose any reason for

 5  denying an alcoholic beverage license, by any purchaser of a

 6  business which possesses a beverage license of any type or

 7  series, the purchaser of such business and the applicant for

 8  transfer are entitled as a matter of right to receive a

 9  temporary beverage license of the same type and series as that

10  held by the seller of such business.  The temporary license

11  will be valid for all purposes under the Beverage Law until

12  the application is denied or until 14 days after the

13  application is approved. Such temporary beverage license shall

14  be issued by the district supervisor of the district in which

15  the application for transfer is made upon the payment of a fee

16  of $100. A purchaser operating under the provisions of this

17  subsection is subject to the same rights, privileges, duties,

18  and limitations of a beverage licensee as are provided by law,

19  except that purchases of alcoholic beverages during the term

20  of such temporary license shall be for cash only. However,

21  such cash-only restriction does not apply if the entity

22  holding a temporary license pursuant to this section purchases

23  alcoholic beverages as part of a single-transaction

24  cooperative purchase placed by a pool buying agent or if such

25  entity is also the holder of a state beverage license

26  authorizing the purchase of the same type of alcoholic

27  beverages as authorized under the temporary license.

28         (2)  Upon the filing of an application for change of

29  location pursuant to s. 561.33 by any qualified licensee who

30  possesses a beverage license of any type or series, which

31  application does not on its face disclose any reason for

    Amendment No.    





 1  denying an alcoholic beverage license, the licensee is

 2  entitled as a matter of right to receive a temporary beverage

 3  license of the same series as that license held by the

 4  licensee to be valid for all purposes under the Beverage Law

 5  until the application is denied or until 14 days after the

 6  application is approved.  Such temporary license shall be

 7  issued by the district supervisor of the district in which the

 8  application for change of location is made without the payment

 9  of any further fee or tax.  A licensee operating under the

10  provisions of this subsection is subject to the same rights,

11  privileges, duties, and limitations of a beverage licensee as

12  are provided by law.

13         (3)  Upon the filing of a properly completed

14  application to change the type or series of a beverage license

15  by any qualified licensee having a beverage license of any

16  type or series, which application does not on its face

17  disclose any reason for denying an alcoholic beverage license,

18  the licensee is entitled as a matter of right to receive a

19  temporary beverage license of the type or series applied for,

20  which temporary license is valid for all purposes under the

21  Beverage Law until the application is denied or until 14 days

22  after the application is approved.  Such temporary license

23  shall be issued by the district supervisor of the district in

24  which the application for change of type or series is made. If

25  the department issues a notice of intent to deny the license

26  application for failure of the applicant to disclose the

27  information required by s. 561.15(2) or (4), the temporary

28  license for transfer, change of location, or change of type of

29  series expires and shall not be extended during any proceeding

30  for administrative or judicial review pursuant to chapter 120.

31  If the fee for the type or series or license applied for is

                                  16

 1  greater than the fee for the license then held by the

 2  applicant, the applicant for such temporary license must pay a

 3  fee in the amount of $100 or one-fourth of the difference

 4  between the fees, whichever amount is greater.  A fee is not

 5  required for an application for a temporary license of a type

 6  or series for which the fee is the same as or less than the

 7  fee for the license then held by the applicant. The holder of

 8  a temporary license under this subsection is subject to the

 9  same rights, privileges, duties, and limitations of a beverage

10  licensee as are provided by law.

11         (4)  Nothing in this section shall be construed to

12  permit the transfer or issuance of temporary licenses contrary

13  to the county-by-county limitation on the number of such

14  licenses based on population as provided in s. 561.20(1).
