| (a) Changes in ownership which require a new license
or manufacturer registration.
(1) Transfer of dealership outlet or location by sale,
lease, or gift. The purchaser, lessee, or donee of any dealership
or outlet shall have a current and valid license or manufacturer registration
authorizing the LNG activities to be performed and the dealership
or outlet shall apply for and be issued an LNG license or manufacturer
registration prior to engaging in any LNG activities which require
a license or manufacturer registration. The purchaser, lessee, or
donee shall notify AFS by filing a properly completed LNG Form 2001
or LNG Form 2001M prior to engaging in any LNG activities at that
dealership or outlet which require an LNG license or manufacturer
registration.
(2) Other changes in ownership. A change in members
of a partnership occurs upon the death, withdrawal, expulsion, or
addition of a partner. Upon the death of a sole proprietor or partner,
the dissolution of a corporation or partnership, any changes in the
members of a partnership, or other changes in ownership not specifically
provided for in this section, an authorized representative of the
previously existing dealership or of the successor in interest shall
notify AFS in writing and shall immediately cease all LNG activities
of the previously existing dealership which require an LNG license
or manufacturer registration and shall not resume until AFS issues
an LNG license or manufacturer registration to the successor in interest.
(b) Changes in dealership business entity. When a dealership
converts from one business entity into a different kind of business
entity, the resulting entity shall have a valid license or manufacturer
registration before engaging in any LNG activities which require an
LNG license or manufacturer registration and shall immediately notify
AFS in writing of the change in business entity.
(c) Dealership name change. A licensee or registered
manufacturer which changes its name shall not be required to obtain
a new license or manufacturer registration but shall immediately notify
AFS as follows prior to engaging in any LNG activities under the new
name. The licensee or registered manufacturer shall file:
(1) an amended LNG Form 2001 or LNG Form 1001M;
(2) an amended LNG Form 2001A, if outlet names will
change;
(3) a copy of the licensee's or registered manufacturer's
business documents reflecting the name change, such as amendments
to the articles of incorporation or assumed name filings;
(4) certificates of insurance or affidavits in lieu
of insurance if permitted by §14.2034 of this title (relating
to Self-Insurance Requirements) or both; and
(5) any other forms required by AFS.
(d) Company representatives and operations supervisors.
In all changes of ownership, form of dealership, or name of dealership,
the resulting entity shall have a properly certified company representative
for the license and an operations supervisor, if required, at each
outlet and as specified in §14.2025 of this title (relating to
Designation and Responsibilities of Company Representative and Operations
Supervisors).
(e) In the event of a death of a sole proprietor or
partner, the AFS director may grant a temporary exception not to exceed
30 calendar days to the examination requirement for company representatives
and operations supervisors. An applicant for a temporary exception
shall comply with applicable safety requirements.
