§ 439. Licenses; display; renewal; duplicates.1.  All  licenses, except temporary licenses, shall be for a period of   four years.2. No license or  certificate  shall  be  assignable  or  transferable   except as hereinafter provided.2-a. A license to conduct a barber shop issued to an individual may be   assigned  or  transferred  for the remainder of the licensed period to a   partnership or corporation if  such  individual  is  a  member  of  such   partnership  or  an  officer  of  such  corporation  at the time of such   assignment or transfer.  A  license  issued  to  a  partnership  may  be   assigned  or  transferred for the remainder of the license period to any   one member of such partnership, provided he obtains the consent  of  all   of  the  other  members  of such partnership, or to a new partnership of   which one or more members of the licensed partnership  were  members.  A   license  issued  to a corporation may be assigned or transferred for the   remainder of the licensed period to any one individual  officer  of  the   corporation provided he obtains the consent of all of the other officers   of  such  corporation.  The  application for such transfer or assignment   must be accompanied by proof satisfactory to  the  department  that  the   requirements  herein  provided have been complied with. No assignment or   transfer shall become effective unless and until the endorsement of  the   transfer  or  assignment has been made on the face of the license by the   department and such license, so  endorsed,  has  been  returned  to  the   assignee  or  transferee.  All  such  endorsements shall be made without   payment of any fee. A bona fide purchaser of  a  barber  shop  from  the   holder  of  a  license  thereof  may  continue to use the license of the   seller for a period of thirty days from the date of the  sale,  provided   there  is  endorsed  on  the face thereof the name of the purchaser, the   date of the sale, and the signature of the seller and the purchaser; and   provided further  within  five  days  from  the  date  of  the  sale  an   application, in accordance with the provisions of this article, shall be   presented  by  the  purchaser to the secretary of state for a license to   conduct a barber shop.2-b. A license to conduct a barber shop issued to an individual or  to   a  partnership may be used after the death of the licensed individual or   co-partner by his  next  of  kin  or  duly  appointed  administrator  or   executor  in  the  name  of the estate for a period of not more than one   hundred twenty days from  the  date  of  death  of  such  individual  or   co-partner, provided that there is endorsed upon the face of the license   after  the  name  of the decedent the word "deceased", the date of death   and the name of the next of kin, administrator or executor  under  whose   authority  the  license  is being used; the period of one hundred twenty   days aforesaid may be extended upon  application  to  the  secretary  of   state  and  for  good cause shown for an additional period not to exceed   one hundred twenty days. Any license so  continued  which  shall  expire   during  such  period of one hundred twenty days or the extension thereof   may be renewed by the next of kin, administrator  or  executor  for  the   balance of such period or the extension thereof.3.  Each  license or certificate issued pursuant to this article shall   be posted and kept posted in some conspicuous place in the  barber  shop   in  which  the  licensee  or  registrant  is  engaged in the practice of   barbering or as an apprentice.4. Any license or certificate, except a temporary license,  which  has   not  been suspended or revoked, may, upon the payment of the renewal fee   prescribed by this article, be renewed for additional  periods  of  four   years  from its expiration, without further examination, upon the filing   of any application for such renewal, on a form to be prescribed  by  the   secretary of state, accompanied by the certificate required by paragraph    (c)  and  the  certificate  of completion required by paragraph (e-1) of   subdivision one of section four hundred thirty-four of this article.5.  Any  person  failing  to file application and fee for renewal of a   license as a barber within one year immediately following the expiration   of his last license shall pay an additional fee of ten dollars,  and  if   he  fail  to  file  application and fee for renewal within five years he   shall be ineligible for such license until he shall have again passed an   examination but he shall not be required to pay such additional fee.6. A duplicate license or certificate may  be  issued  for  one  lost,   destroyed or mutilated upon application therefor on a form prescribed by   the secretary of state and the payment of the fee prescribed therefor by   this   article.   Each  such  duplicate  license  shall  have  the  word   "duplicate" stamped across the face thereof  and  shall  bear  the  same   number as the one it replaces.
