8 such cash-only restriction does not apply if the entity
9 holding a temporary license pursuant to this section purchases
10 alcoholic beverages as part of a single-transaction
11 cooperative purchase placed by a pool buying agent or if such
12 entity is also the holder of a state beverage license
13 authorizing the purchase of the same type of alcoholic
14 beverages as authorized under the temporary license.
15 (2) Upon the filing of an application for change of
16 location pursuant to s. 561.33 by any qualified licensee who
17 possesses a beverage license of any type or series, which
18 application does not on its face disclose any reason for
19 denying an alcoholic beverage license, the licensee is
20 entitled as a matter of right to receive a temporary beverage
21 license of the same series as that license held by the
22 licensee to be valid for all purposes under the Beverage Law
23 until the application is denied or until 14 days after the
24 application is approved. Such temporary license shall be
25 issued by the district supervisor of the district in which the
26 application for change of location is made without the payment
27 of any further fee or tax. A licensee operating under the
28 provisions of this subsection is subject to the same rights,
29 privileges, duties, and limitations of a beverage licensee as
30 are provided by law.

1 (3) Upon the filing of a properly completed
2 application to change the type or series of a beverage license
3 by any qualified licensee having a beverage license of any
4 type or series, which application does not on its face
5 disclose any reason for denying an alcoholic beverage license,
6 the licensee is entitled as a matter of right to receive a
7 temporary beverage license of the type or series applied for,
8 which temporary license is valid for all purposes under the
9 Beverage Law until the application is denied or until 14 days
10 after the application is approved. Such temporary license
11 shall be issued by the district supervisor of the district in
12 which the application for change of type or series is made. If
13 the department issues a notice of intent to deny the license
14 application for failure of the applicant to disclose the
15 information required by s. 561.15(2) or (4), the temporary
16 license for transfer, change of location, or change of type of
17 series expires and shall not be extended during any proceeding
18 for administrative or judicial review pursuant to chapter 120.
19 If the fee for the type or series or license applied for is
20 greater than the fee for the license then held by the
21 applicant, the applicant for such temporary license must pay a
22 fee in the amount of $100 or one-fourth of the difference
23 between the fees, whichever amount is greater. A fee is not
24 required for an application for a temporary license of a type
25 or series for which the fee is the same as or less than the
26 fee for the license then held by the applicant. The holder of
27 a temporary license under this subsection is subject to the
28 same rights, privileges, duties, and limitations of a beverage
29 licensee as are provided by law.
30 (4) Nothing in this section shall be construed to
31 permit the transfer or issuance of temporary licenses contrary
