Section 13-23.1-60 - Allocation of commercial use permits for vessels and catamaran registration certificates(a) Commercial use permits and catamaran registration certificates shall be issued to qualified applicants in the order in which applications are received by the department. Seniority begins on the date an application is received and accepted by the department. The allocation procedures specified in subchapter 5, Allocation of berths, shall also govern the allocation of commercial use permits and catamaran registration certificates under this section; provided that waiting lists for commercial use permits and catamaran registration certificates shall be established and maintained separately from waiting lists for berth assignment.(b) The sale or transfer of any corporation or other business entity while on the waiting list which results in a change of the majority stockholder or person holding the majority interest in the business shall result in loss of seniority, and the applicant shall be placed at the bottom of the waiting list.(c) The department may reject an application for a commercial use permit if the type of commercial activity is determined by the department to be inappropriate for the facility or area for which the permit is being requested, in addition to the grounds for rejection of an application for a permit listed in section 13-231-82.(d) When a commercial use permit becomes available for a vessel moored elsewhere, the permit issued shall be of the same category as the commercial use permit which was previously in effect.
