2-2120. Live plant dealer's license; application
fees; sale of live plants, conditions.
Every live plant dealer, before selling or offering for
sale or delivering
any live plants in this state, shall procure
from the secretary a live plant
dealer's license for each location and vehicle from which the live plant
dealer
offers such live plants for sale. Application for
such license shall
be made on a form furnished by the secretary, and the fee for each
application shall be fixed by rules and regulations adopted by the
secretary,
except that such fee shall not exceed
$60, and shall not
apply to live plant dealers whose total annual retail live plant sales are less
than $10,000. The application
fee in effect
on the day preceding the effective date of this act shall continue in effect
until the secretary adopts rules and regulations fixing a
different application
fee under this section. The dealer's license shall
expire on January 31, following date of issue, except
that all valid certificates of nursery inspection and nursery dealer licenses
issued by the secretary that are scheduled to expire in 2002 shall remain
valid until January 31, 2003. A live plant
dealer may sell only live plants which are in compliance with all quarantines
and regulated nonquarantine pest freedom standards established by the
secretary, or live plants
accompanied by a valid
certificate of inspection of a federal inspector or inspector of another
state, stating that such live plants comply with all applicable quarantines
and
regulated nonquarantine pest freedom standards. Except where restricted by a
quarantine, live plants transplanted on one contiguous property are exempt from
the provisions of this act.
