Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 1, October 31, 2024
Section 80-3-11-.05 - Specific Requirements For Dealer LicensesAll licenses issued under the provisions of Code of Ala. 1975, § 2-15-132, shall be governed by the following requirements:
(a) No license shall be transferable.(b) The license issued to a firm or corporation, or association or other like entities shall only be used by that officer or employees of the licensee who is specifically listed as a buyer in the application for license.(c) All licensees, when engaged in the business of a dealer, shall carry on his person official proof of such licensing. He shall produce such proof to anyone, when requested, with whom he is engaged in livestock transactions. He shall also produce such proof at any time to the Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries or his official representative. Willful failure to produce such proof, under the above circumstances, may result in suspension or revocation of the license.(d) Whenever any change is made in the name or address or in the management or nature or in the substantial control or ownership of the business of a licensee, such licensee shall report such change in writing to the Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries, Montgomery, Alabama, within 10 days after making such change. The above is not to imply that the restrictions on transferring may be waived, but only that notice must be sent as provided. Failure to comply with the above may result in revocation or suspension of the license.(e) Licenses expire on December 31 and are renewable as of January 1 of each year as provided under § 2-15-132(a) above. The Department distributes applications for relicensing to all known licensees approximately two months prior to the expiration date. It is imperative for the licensee to return a fully executed application along with proper funds and other required documents prior to the expiration date. Anyone acting as a dealer as defined under the law and Rule 80-3-11-.03 of this Chapter, after the expiration date of the license, that has not, prior to the expiration date, taken all necessary steps to become relicensed, shall be deemed to be in violation of the law and this Chapter and subject to all available penalties. The burden of complying in a timely manner with the laws and regulations for relicensing every year is upon the dealer, but a good faith attempt by a licensee to renew the license and through no fault of his own the existing license expires prior to renewal will be taken into consideration.
