(b) Licenses will be issued through the Commission’s PALS. The county treasurer shall write in ink the applicants’ customer ID numbers on the face of the check or money order. If there are no licenses available in the applicant’s first unit of preference, the county treasurer shall issue a license for the applicant’s next unit of preference in the order given. If all three units have no licenses available, the county treasurer shall return the application to the applicant indicating that the selected units were sold out.

If more than one application is mailed to the county treasurer in the same envelope, the licenses shall be mailed to the person whose name appears on the return section of the envelope. The person receiving the additional licenses is responsible for delivering them to the appropriate people.
