Sec. 5. (a) A permit may be transferred to another person by the permittee, without the need for a new permit or modification or revocation of the existing permit being required, if the permittee notifies the commissioner of the proposed transfer at least sixty (60) days before the proposed date of transfer on forms provided by the commissioner. (b) Along with the notification form, the permittee must provide the following: (1) A disclosure statement meeting the requirements of IC 13-19-4-2(1) or IC 13-19-4-2(2) executed by the transferee and each person who is a responsible party with respect to the transferee, unless IC 13-19-4-2 does not apply under the provisions of IC 13-19-4-1(b). (2) A written agreement containing a specific date of transfer of permit responsibility. (3) Proof of financial responsibility of the transferee as provided in 329 IAC 10-39, if required by the commissioner. (4) Proof that the transferee is, or will be, the owner of the real property on which the facility is located, or proof that the property is, or will be, leased to the transferee. (c) A permit may not be transferred if the transferee has: (1) been convicted under IC 13-30-10 or IC 36-9-30-35; or (2) had a permit to operate under this article, or previous articles, 329 IAC 1.5, which was repealed in 1989, or 329 IAC 2, which was repealed in 1996, revoked by the commissioner under IC 13-15-7. (d) The transfer will be effective on the specific date of transfer provided by the permittee unless the commissioner notifies the permittee and the transferee that the transfer will be denied under IC 13-19-4-5 through IC 13-19-4-7. (e) Notwithstanding the transfer of a permit, a variance must not be transferred to another person without independent proof of undue hardship or burden by the transferee.
