1. (a) If an individual who is the sole licensee of a marijuana establishment dies, the marijuana establishment shall cease operation. A personal representative appointed by the superior court for the estate of the deceased licensee may submit to the director a written request to reopen the business, along with a copy of the court order appointing the personal representative. If the licensed marijuana establishment is in good standing, and the personal representative is not a person prohibited from holding a marijuana establishment license under AS 17.38.200(i), the director shall grant permission to the personal representative to operate the business on the licensed premises subject to (b) of this section. In this section, a marijuana establishment is in good standing if the marijuana establishment

   1. (1) has a valid current license;
   2. (2) has paid all fees due under this chapter and all local taxes due; and
   3. (3) has no unresolved suspension or revocation proceedings against it.
2. (b) A personal representative authorized to operate a marijuana establishment under (a) of this section must submit an application for a transfer of ownership to another person in compliance with 3 AAC 306.045 not later than 90 days after obtaining the director's approval to operate. The board may extend the time allowed in this section for another 90 days if the personal representative requests the additional time.
3. (c) This section does not authorize the transfer of a marijuana establishment license unless the board approves the personal representative's application for transfer of license to another person.
