Any person who owns or operates upon the same premises more than one business which is regulated pursuant to Title 24 (Food and Drugs) of the Revised Statutes shall be entitled to own or operate such businesses upon the issuance by the Commissioner of Health of a consolidated certificate of operation. Such certificate shall be issued in lieu of individual licenses which would otherwise be required by the Department of Health for the ownership or operation of each separate business and may be suspended or revoked in whole or in part for the operation of one or more of such businesses in violation of any statute or rule or regulation of the commissioner.
