cases, upon the payment of a prorata license fee for such period, and
during the period of such continuation the said license and the execu-
tors or administrators of the deceased shall be subject to all of the
provisions of this article. The said administrator or executor to
which the aforesaid certificate of permission has been granted may
assign or transfer said license for the benefit of said estate, and upon
the approval of the application for said transfer or assignment, the
said license shall be considered reinstated upon the payment of the
balance of the license fee which might be due to the expiration of the
license year. If the business of the licensee be not continued as above
provided, or if the said license be not transferred or assigned, his
executors or administrators shall be authorized to apply for and
obtain any refund to which the deceased would have been entitled if
his license had been surrendered for cancellation upon the date of his
death. No Class E, Class F or Class G license shall expire or become
inoperative because of the death and/or incompetency of one or
more, but less than all, of the persons to whom it is issued for a com-
pany. If all of the persons to whom it is so issued shall die and/or
become incompetent during its term, such license shall expire ten
days thereafter, but, upon application within such ten days, accom-
panied by a fee payment of $1.00 by a person on behalf of such com-
pany, the Comptroller shall issue a new license replacing, and con-
taining the privileges of, such license to the end of the license year.

(b) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Arti-
cle, in Charles County, upon the death of any married licensee, or
upon the death of any licensee holding such license for the benefit of
a partnership or corporation, upon application to the official issuing
said license, a new license shall be issued to the surviving spouse, the
surviving partners for the benefit of such partnership, or the senior
surviving officer for the benefit of such corporation without the
necessity of any further proceedings.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
June 1, 1967.
