Notwithstanding the provisions of § 35-4-11 or 35-2-5.3, any county or municipality operating an airport under chapter 50-7 or a regional airport authority operating an airport under chapter 50-6A may by resolution, without an election, but subject to referendum, make application for the issuance of an on-sale license at the airport.

An on-sale license issued for a municipal airport may be renewed annually as long as the municipality or regional airport authority operates the airport. No on-sale license issued for a municipal airport after July 1, 2018, may be sold, transferred, or operated at any location other than the municipal airport.
