BEER

23-1009.  Retailers’ local licenses. No retailer shall sell beer within this state, until he or it shall be licensed therefor by a municipality, if the business is to be conducted therein, and by the county wherein said business is to be conducted, and by the director. Applications for retailer’s licenses shall be made under oath first to the director of the Idaho state police, and if the license be issued, to the county and then to the municipality, upon forms to be supplied by each, which forms shall require that the applicant show that the applicant possesses all of the qualifications and none of the disqualifications of a retailer licensee under this act, and, as to the municipal license, under any ordinance thereof. Each application shall be accompanied with the required license fee. If the applications conform hereto the director, county and municipality respectively, shall each issue a retailer’s license to the applicant, subject to the restrictions and upon the conditions in this act specified, and, as to the municipal license, in the ordinance aforesaid. Said licenses shall at all times be prominently displayed in the place of business of the licensee, and shall be issued only for the particular premises described therein, but the municipality, county and director may permit a transfer to other particularly described premises. No license transferred by process of law or otherwise shall authorize the transferee, including any executor, administrator or trustee in bankruptcy of the estate of the licensee, to retail beer thereunder until the transferee shall have filed under oath applications therefor containing substantially the same information required of an applicant for a license, and if the transferee possesses the qualifications and none of the disqualifications for a license as herein provided, the director, county and municipality shall approve such transfer and issue a license so to show. The transferee shall accompany the state application for transfer with, and shall pay, the fee as set out in section 23-1005A, Idaho Code. Such transferee shall accompany each such county and municipality application for transfer with, and shall pay, the sum of five dollars ($5.00).
