Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, a trader may transfer the trader’s license to a person who: buys the stock–in–trade of the trader; and buys or rents the place of business of the trader. A trader’s license issued to a visually handicapped individual or Blind Industries is not transferable. However, Blind Industries may change the manager of the place of business for which a trader’s license was issued if the new manager has vision that meets the standard of § 17–1804(b)(1) of this subtitle. Whenever a trader sells the trader’s stock–in–trade and transfers the trader’s license: the transfer of the trader’s license shall be reported to the clerk who issued the license; and the clerk shall record the transfer of the trader’s license. In Baltimore County, the clerk may not issue a transferred trader’s license without the approval of the zoning commissioner. In Calvert County, the clerk may not issue a transferred trader’s license unless the zoning requirements under § 17–307 of this title are met. A person who buys a trader’s license may do business as a trader for the rest of the term of the trader’s license.
