12 beverages as authorized under the temporary license.
13 (2) Upon the filing of an application for change of
14 location pursuant to s. 561.33 by any qualified licensee who
15 possesses a beverage license of any type or series, which
16 application does not on its face disclose any reason for
17 denying an alcoholic beverage license, the licensee is
18 entitled as a matter of right to receive a temporary beverage
19 license of the same series as that license held by the
20 licensee to be valid for all purposes under the Beverage Law
21 until the application is denied or until 14 days after the
22 application is approved. Such temporary license shall be
23 issued by the district supervisor of the district in which the
24 application for change of location is made without the payment
25 of any further fee or tax. A licensee operating under the
26 provisions of this subsection is subject to the same rights,
27 privileges, duties, and limitations of a beverage licensee as
28 are provided by law.

1 type or series, which application does not on its face
2 disclose any reason for denying an alcoholic beverage license,
3 the licensee is entitled as a matter of right to receive a
4 temporary beverage license of the type or series applied for,
5 which temporary license is valid for all purposes under the
6 Beverage Law until the application is denied or until 14 days
7 after the application is approved. Such temporary license
8 shall be issued by the district supervisor of the district in
9 which the application for change of type or series is made. If
10 the department issues a notice of intent to deny the license
11 application for failure of the applicant to disclose the
12 information required by s. 561.15(2) or (4), the temporary
13 license for transfer, change of location, or change of type of
14 series expires and shall not be extended during any proceeding
15 for administrative or judicial review pursuant to chapter 120.
16 If the fee for the type or series or license applied for is
17 greater than the fee for the license then held by the
18 applicant, the applicant for such temporary license must pay a
19 fee in the amount of $100 or one-fourth of the difference
20 between the fees, whichever amount is greater. A fee is not
21 required for an application for a temporary license of a type
22 or series for which the fee is the same as or less than the
23 fee for the license then held by the applicant. The holder of
24 a temporary license under this subsection is subject to the
25 same rights, privileges, duties, and limitations of a beverage
26 licensee as are provided by law.
27 (4) Nothing in this section shall be construed to
28 permit the transfer or issuance of temporary licenses contrary
29 to the county-by-county limitation on the number of such
30 licenses based on population as provided in s. 561.20(1).
