§ 5.16.070. Licenses nonassignable—Incorporation prohibited.

A.

Except as otherwise provided in this section, no cardroom license or any table operated under a cardroom license may be sold, transferred or assigned by the licensee or by operation of law, to any other person, persons, or legal entity, and any such sale, transfer, or assignment or attempted sale, transfer or assignment, shall be deemed a voluntary surrender of the license, which license shall thereupon be terminated and void; provided, that if the licensee is a partnership and one or more of the partners dies, the surviving partner or partners may acquire, by purchase or otherwise, the interest of the deceased partner or partners without affecting a surrender or termination of the license. A license issued to an individual shall terminate with the death of the individual. No person shall be granted a license to conduct more than one cardroom.

B.

A licensee may not incorporate after approval of the license. Any such incorporation, or attempted incorporation, shall be deemed a voluntary surrender of the license, and the license shall thereupon be terminated. (Ord. 129 §5.16.070, 1985)
