Is a facility license transferable from one person to another?

A facility license is generally considered non-transferable. This means that when a business or individual has been granted a license to operate, that license is tied specifically to the original holder. If the holder wants to transfer the license to someone else, they typically cannot do so without going through a formal process, which often includes reapplication or meeting specific criteria.

Licenses are designed to ensure compliance with regulations and standards set forth by governing boards or agencies. Allowing unlimited transferability could undermine the accountability and responsibility that come with holding a license. Thus, non-transferability serves to protect the integrity of the licensing process and maintain the standards of practice within the industry.

While there may be special circumstances where a license is transferable with approval or under certain conditions, the basic rule is that without such an endorsement, a facility license remains tied to the original licensee.
