Title
An ordinance relating to the transfer of tobacco licenses.
Sections
84-43-3.5 rc

Analysis
This ordinance clarifies that no cigarette or tobacco license may be transferred from one person to another or from one premises to another.
The name of a licensee may be changed by the city clerk upon receiving information that the legal name of the licensee has been changed by marriage, order of a court or by an administrative determination of the Wisconsin department of financial institutions.
Body
Whereas, Section 134.65(1), Wis. Stats., authorizes municipal cigarette and tobacco licensing; and
Whereas, Section 134.65(3), Wis. Stats., prohibits the transfer of cigarette and tobacco licenses from one person to another or from one premises to another; now, therefore,

The city clerk may, however, change the name of a licensee as provided in s. 85-19 upon receiving information that the name of the licensee has been lawfully changed by marriage, order of a court or administrative determination by the Wisconsin department of financial institutions.
Part 2. Section 85-19-1 of the code is amended to read:
85-19. Transfer of License or Permit or Change of name. 1. GENERAL REQUERMENT. [[No}}>>Unless otherwise provided in this code, no<< license or permit shall be transferrable whether as to licensee, permittee or location except as herein provided.
