Under what conditions can a liquor license be transferred to another individual?

The transfer of a liquor license to another individual must be approved by the District Licensing Committee. This requirement ensures that all transfers adhere to the legal framework established for the sale and consumption of alcohol, maintaining regulatory oversight and public safety standards. The District Licensing Committee evaluates the suitability of the new licensee, considering factors such as their fit and proper status, any potential risk to the community, and compliance with the relevant laws. This process ensures that licenses are not transferred arbitrarily and that the responsible sale of liquor continues under qualified individuals.

In contrast, the other options do not accurately reflect the procedural and legal requirements surrounding the transfer of a liquor license. The transfer cannot simply occur at the owner’s discretion without proper evaluation and approval, imposing a minimal fee does not play a role in the process, and not every employee has the authority to request a license transfer, as it requires specific approvals and adherence to regulatory standards.
