The license shall be subject to all of said chapter 138 except section 17.
(b) The licensing authority shall not approve the transfer of the license granted pursuant to this act to any other location but it may grant the license to a new applicant at the same location if the applicant files with the licensing authority a letter from the department of revenue and a letter from the department of unemployment assistance indicating that the licensee is in good standing with those departments and that all applicable taxes, fees and contributions have been paid.
(c) If a license issued pursuant to this act is cancelled, revoked or no longer in use, it shall be returned physically with all of the legal rights, privileges and restrictions pertaining thereto to the licensing authority and the licensing authority may grant the license to a new applicant at the same location under the same conditions as specified in this act.
(d) The initial license authorized to be granted pursuant to subsection (a) shall be issued within 1 year after the effective date of this act, if so issued, it shall be subject to reissuance pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) thereafter.
