Section 12. License Issuance.

A. Upon approval of all applications connected with an operation, the Board shall issue a license for the operation, which license shall state :

1. The names and addresses of all licensees connected with the operation ;

2. The address or location of the operation ;

3. Any restrictions or limitations imposed by the Board ;

4. The date of issuance of the license ;

5. The date of expiration of the license.

B. All licenses shall be issued for a quarterly period.

C. Five (5) days before the expiration date of any license, the licensee shall apply to the Sheriff, on forms provided, for a renewal. If any written complaint regarding the operation shall have been received during the immediately preceding license period, the Sheriff shall forthwith transmit the renewal application to the Board which shall, within five (5) days, investigate the complaint or complaints, and either grant or deny the renewal. If no such complaints have been received, the Sheriff may issue the renewed license. In determining whether to grant a renewal, the Board may conduct hearings, summon witnesses, interview the licensee, interview any complainant, require additional investigation by the Sheriff, or do any and all other acts which may be necessary or appropriate to the Board's determination.

D. Failure of any licensed operation to apply for a renewal, as required in subsection C. above, shall result in an automatic revocation of the license on the expiration date thereof. Any license thus revoked may be reinstated only upon compliance by the licensee with all requirements of this chapter relating to original license applications.
