The director shall approve any such transfer upon submission of the application and receipt by the director of a transfer fee of twenty dollars ($20.00).
(c) The director, in his discretion, may deny the transfer of a license during the pendency of any proceedings for suspension or revocation instituted pursuant to the provisions of this chapter.
