(a) A license issued to a limited liability company or to a corporation to engage in the business of installing, servicing or maintaining security or fire alarm systems shall require that such business be operated under the direction and control of at least one member or manager of the limited liability company or a manager or managing officer of a corporation, who shall be required to meet the licensing requirements of this article on behalf of the licensee and who, in the case of a corporation, shall not be required to be an officer of the corporation. If such member, manager or managing officer, who shall have met the requirements of this article, ceases to act in the capacity of member, manager or managing corporate officer for any reason whatsoever, the licensee shall notify the department in writing within fourteen days from such termination or cessation. The licensee may continue to conduct the business of installing, servicing or maintaining security or fire alarm systems for a period not to exceed sixty days from the date of such termination or cessation; the period of sixty days aforesaid may be extended upon application to the secretary of state and for good cause for an additional period not to exceed one hundred twenty days; by the end of such period a new member, manager or managing officer must be designated who has met the licensing requirements of this article on behalf of the licensee. (b) The limited liability company or corporation shall be liable with respect to all actions taken by its member, manager or managing officer acting on behalf of such limited liability company or corporation. 4. A license to engage in the business of installing, servicing or maintaining security or fire alarm systems issued to an individual may be assigned or transferred for the remainder of the license period to a partnership, limited liability company or corporation if such individual is a member of such partnership, a member of the limited liability company 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. The application for such transfer or assignment must be accompanied by the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of subdivision one of section sixty-nine-o of this article and 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 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 such business from the holder of the 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 the business of installing, servicing or maintaining security or fire alarm systems. 5. Employees of a person licensed to conduct the business of installing, servicing or maintaining security or fire alarm systems shall not be required to be licensed provided that the nonlicensedemployee have in his possession an identification card issued pursuant to section sixty-nine-m of this article. A person licensed to conduct such business shall, however, be required to submit to the department a full set of fingerprints of any employee who assists in the installation, servicing or maintaining of security or fire alarm systems, which shall be forwarded by the department to the division of criminal justice services to be compared with the fingerprints on file with the division to determine whether such employee has been convicted of a felony involving fraud, bribery, perjury or the theft pursuant to article one hundred forty, one hundred fifty-five, one hundred sixty, one hundred sixty-five, one hundred seventy, one hundred seventy-five, one hundred seventy-six, one hundred eighty, one hundred eighty-five, one hundred ninety, one hundred ninety-five, two hundred or two hundred ten of the penal law or has a criminal action which has been pending for under one year without a final disposition unless adjourned in contemplation of dismissal.

Such employee's fingerprints shall be taken on a standard fingerprint card approved for fingerprinting by the state division of criminal justice services and shall be accompanied by the appropriate processing fees in proper form for the division of criminal justice services. The division of criminal justice services shall return the fingerprint card and the report of such convictions to the department, who shall then notify the licensee that such employee has been convicted of such a felony or has a criminal action pending pursuant to a schedule developed by the division in conjunction with the secretary of state but not to be implemented prior to September first, nineteen hundred ninety-four. Upon submission of such fingerprints to the department, a person may be employed on a provisional basis to assist in the installation, servicing or maintaining of security or fire alarm systems. However, such employee may not continue in such a capacity if it is determined that such employee has been convicted of such a felony or has a criminal action pending. 6. A license to conduct the business of installing, servicing or maintaining security or fire alarm systems 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 sixty 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 sixty 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 sixty 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. 7. A license to conduct the business of installing, servicing or maintaining security or fire alarm systems shall be conspicuously posted upon the premises where the licensee is engaged in the business of installing, servicing or maintaining security or fire alarm systems. 8. Any 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 two years from its expiration, without further examination, upon the filing of an application for such renewal, on a form and with such additional information as prescribed by the secretary of state.9. Any person failing to file application and fee for renewal of a license within one year immediately following the expiration of his last license shall pay an additional fee of sixty dollars, and if he fails to file application and fee for renewal within two years he shall be ineligible for such license until he shall have again met the requirements set forth in this article. 10. A duplicate license 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. 11. Notice in writing shall be given the secretary of state at his office in Albany by the holder of a license to conduct the business of installing, servicing or maintaining security or fire alarm systems of any change in address of the business or residence of the person engaged in such business together with the return of license, whereupon a properly signed endorsement will be made on the face of the license as to such change and the license then returned to the licensee. A change of address by a licensee without such notice and endorsement of license shall operate to cancel the license.
