A. 1. Valid licenses are required by all persons whose name appears on the label or invoice as the guarantor manufacturing or distributing of a commercial feed product in this state. The license application must list each manufacturing and distribution facility which is or will be engaged in distributing any feed sold, offered for sale, or distributed by the applicant. No license is required of a person retailing or wholesaling commercial feed labeled and guaranteed by another manufacturer. Any out-of-state person who has no distribution facility within this state shall obtain a license for the entity's principal out-of-state office if the out-of-state person or other entity sells, offers or exposes for sale, or distributes any commercial feed in this state. 2. Application shall be made on a form furnished by the State Board of Agriculture. 3. The Board may establish an annual fee for licensing distributors pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Commercial Feed Law. The Board shall follow the procedures required by the Administrative Procedures Act for promulgation of rules in establishing the licensing fees. 4. Licenses shall be renewed on a date to be determined by the Board. Commercial feed license renewal applications received thirty (30) days or more after the renewal date shall be subject to a late filing fee of Fifty Dollars ($50.00). B. Any license may be suspended, canceled, revoked, or refused reissue by the Board after notice and opportunity for a hearing has been given to the holder of the license in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act. Notice shall be given to the holder of the license by registered or certified mail at least twenty (20) days prior to the date of the hearing. The suspension, cancellation, revocation, refusal to issue, or reissue may be made if the Board finds any violation of the Oklahoma Commercial Feed Law or of rules or standards prescribed by the Board. C. When the Board has reasonable cause to believe a violation of the law may exist, copies of labels and labeling of commercial feed being distributed may be requested in order to determine compliance with the provisions of the Oklahoma Commercial Feed Law, Section 8-41.1 et seq. of this title. Added by Laws 1984, c. 15, § 4, eff. July 1, 1985. Amended by Laws 1995, c. 163, § 2, eff. July 1, 1995; Laws 2000, c. 367, § 93, emerg. eff. June 6, 2000; Laws 2004, c. 109, § 5.
