    3.  That the applicant, in the case of any type of partnership, has any partner who is under twenty-one (21) years of age;

    4.  That the applicant, in the case of a limited liability company, has a manager or member who is under twenty-one (21) years of age;

    5.  That the applicant or any type of partner has been convicted of a felony;

    6.  That the applicant, in the case of a corporation, has a stockholder owning fifteen percent (15%) of the stock, officer or director who has been convicted of a felony;

    11.  That the applicant is not the real party in interest, or intends to carry on the business authorized by the license as the agent of another;

    12.  That the applicant is a person who appoints or is a law enforcement official or is an employee of the ABLE Commission or of the Director; or
