Animal holding center licenses are not transferable. The new owner or operator of the animal holding center shall make application to the Department pursuant to this Subdivision. The Director may issue a temporary license to the new owner or operator of an existing animal holding center to permit its continuing operation pending the Director's decision on the license application. The temporary license may be issued, provided: The application by the new owner or operator for the regular animal holding facility license has been filed with the Department; and The facility is not the subject of a pending Animal Control violation or citation upon which final action has not been completed. The temporary license shall be valid until the Director's decision is rendered on the application for the regular license. Issuance of the temporary license does not bar a decision by the Director to deny the application pursuant to Section 3-155(a).
