(d) Until concurrence by the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board and the State Health Department, no applicant shall be deemed eligible for a license under this section unless it is the holder of all required permits from the State Department of Public Health or division thereof. No establishment shall be eligible for a license under this section unless the same meets the minimum requirements of the fire prevention codes of the State of Alabama and of the incorporated municipality in which it is located.
