Alabama Code Title 34. Professions and Businesses § 34-33-6

In no case shall a certificate holder be allowed to obtain a State Fire Marshal's permit for more than one fire protection sprinkler contractor at a time. If the certificate holder should leave the employment of the fire protection sprinkler contractor, he or she must notify the State Fire Marshal within 30 days. The certificate holder shall not be eligible to obtain a State Fire Marshal's permit for more than one other fire protection sprinkler contractor for a period of 12 months thereafter. If the certificate holder should leave the employment of the fire protection sprinkler contractor, or die, the fire protection sprinkler contractor shall have nine months to submit a new application proposing designation of another individual as the certificate holder for the applicant. If such application is not received and a new permit issued within the allotted time, the State Fire Marshal shall revoke the permit of the fire protection sprinkler contractor.
