Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia: 1. That §4.1-203 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows: §4.1-203. Separate license for each place of business; transfer or amendment; posting; expiration; carriers. A. Each license granted by the Board shall designate the place where the business of the licensee will be carried on. Except as otherwise provided in §§4.1-207 and 4.1-208, a separate license shall be required for each separate place of business. B. No license shall be transferable from one person to
another, or from one location to another. The Board may permit a licensee to
amend the classification of an existing license without complying with the
posting and publishing procedures required by §4.1-230 if the effect of the
amendment is to reduce materially the privileges of an existing license.
However, if (i) the Board determines that the amendment is a device to evade
the provisions of this chapter, (ii) a majority of the corporate stock of a
retail licensee is sold to a new entity, or (iii) there is a change of business
at the premises of a retail licensee, the Board may, within C. Each license shall be posted in a location conspicuous to the public at the place where the licensee carries on the business for which the license is granted. D. The privileges conferred by any license granted by the Board, except for temporary licenses, banquet and mixed beverage special events licenses, shall continue until the last day of the twelfth month next ensuing or the last day of the designated month of expiration, except the license may be sooner terminated for any cause for which the Board would be entitled to refuse to grant a license, by operation of law, voluntary surrender or order of the Board. The Board may permit a licensee who fails to pay 1. The required license tax covering the continuation
or reissuance of his license by midnight of the fifteenth day of the twelfth
month or of the designated month of expiration, whichever is applicable, to
pay the tax in lieu of posting and publishing notice and reapplying, provided
payment of the tax is made within 2. The tax and civil penalty pursuant to subdivision 1 to pay the tax in lieu of posting and publishing notice and reapplying, provided payment of the tax is made within 45 days following the 30 days specified in subdivision 1 and is accompanied by a civil penalty of $100 or 25 percent of such tax, whichever is greater. Such civil penalties collected by the Board shall be deposited in accordance with §4.1-114. E. Subsections A and C shall not apply to common carriers of passengers by train, boat, or airplane. |
