licensees - Application to transfer license.
Any license issued pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma
Alcoholic Beverage Control Act shall be a purely personal privilege.
It shall not constitute property nor be subject to attachment,
garnishment or execution, or be alienable or transferable, either
voluntarily or involuntarily; nor shall it descend by the laws of
descent and distribution, but shall cease upon the death of the
licensee.  Provided, the ABLE Commission, under such regulations and
subject to such restrictions as it may prescribe, may permit the
executors or administrators of the estate of any deceased licensee,
or the trustees of an insolvent or bankrupt licensee, or the legal
guardian of a licensee who has been adjudged to be incompetent or
insane, to exercise the privileges under any license held by such
person for such period as the ABLE Commission may deem equitable
during the administration of the deceased or bankrupt licensee's
estate, but not to exceed two (2) years.  A license may not be
transferred to a new location, except upon application to the ABLE
Commission and endorsement on the license by the ABLE Commission
showing the new location.  An application for transfer of license
shall be accompanied by a certificate reflecting, as to the proposed
new location, compliance with municipal zoning ordinances or county
zoning regulations and municipal or county fire, safety and health
codes as required by Section 54 of this act.  A mixed beverage or
bottle club licensee who transfers the license to a new location
shall pay a transfer fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to the
ABLE Commission.
