A licensee or permittee cannot transfer to anyone else the right to use the retail alcohol license, wine permit, or beer permit of the licensee or permittee; the right of transfer is merely an opportunity for a licensee or permittee to use the licensee’s or permittee’s retail alcohol license, wine permit, or beer permit at a different location. A retail alcohol license, wine permit, or a beer permit may only be transferred within the boundaries of the local authority which approved the license or permit.

	4.18(2) Temporary transfers. If the transfer of a retail alcohol license or permit is for the purpose of accommodating a special event or circumstance temporary in nature, the minimum time of transfer is hereby set at 24 hours and transfer time shall not exceed seven days.
