Ala. Code § 5-18A-8

The prior written approval of the supervisor shall be required for the continued operation of a deferred presentment services business whenever a change in control of a license is proposed. Control in the case of a corporation shall mean direct or indirect ownership, or the right to control 25 percent or more of the voting shares of the corporation, or the ability of a person to elect a majority of the directors or otherwise effect a change in policy. Control in the case of any other entity shall mean the ability to change the principals of the organization, whether active or passive. The supervisor may require any information deemed necessary to determine whether a new application is required.
