Facility licenses are considered what with respect to individuals?

Facility licenses are classified as nontransferable with respect to individuals because these licenses are issued to specific entities or individuals based on qualifications, training, and the conditions they meet when applying. The purpose of nontransferability is to ensure that the facility maintains compliance with safety and sanitation regulations under the responsibility of the licensed individual or entity.

When a license is nontransferable, it signifies that it cannot be passed on to another person or entity. This protects public health and safety, ensuring that the person responsible for the facility meets all necessary training, qualifications, and accountability requirements. For example, if a facility owner sells their business, the new owner would need to apply for their own license as the existing one cannot be transferred to them.

In contrast, the other options do not accurately reflect the nature of facility licenses. For instance, being transferable would imply that a license can be handed off freely, which would undermine the regulatory framework designed to protect health and safety. While some licenses may be contingent on meeting certain conditions or renewable upon expiration, these characteristics do not apply in this context of individual liability and responsibility associated with facility operations.
