Upon the grant of the writ of certiorari, the commissioner shall certify to the court a complete transcript of the proceedings instituted before the commissioner. This certified transcript shall constitute the whole record, and no additional proof or evidence shall be considered by the court. The decision of the commissioner shall remain final until the matter has been finally resolved by the courts.   If, after revocation of the registrant's registration, the registrant complies with requirements of the law as provided and makes manifest in writing the registrant's intentions to forthwith observe the law, upon payment of the cost of the hearing the commissioner may reissue a new registration upon payment of the required fees. Reapplication may be made on such forms as provided by the commissioner, except in no case will reissuance of registration privileges be allowed where fraudulent or deceptive practices are shown.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 43 - Agriculture and Horticulture|Chapter 11 - Fertilizers and Liming Materials|Part 3 - Anhydrous Ammonia|§ 43-11-303. Part Definitions

  “Anhydrous ammonia,” when used exclusively for commercial fertilizer, is, for the purpose of this part, defined as follows: anhydrous ammonia contains eighty-two percent (82%) nitrogen. At atmospheric pressure, ammonia is a gas that exists as a liquid below minus twenty-eight degrees Fahrenheit (-28° F.), and boils at this temperature. In commerce, ammonia is compressed to a liquid and stored under pressure. The gauge pressure is seventy-five pounds (75 lbs.) per square inch at fifty degrees Fahrenheit (50° F.), and one hundred ninety-seven pounds (197 lbs.) per square inch at one hundred degrees Fahrenheit (100° F.). The pressures exerted by anhydrous ammonia are dangerous unless the proper safety devices are installed in the equipment and care is used in handling.   “Dealers in anhydrous ammonia and equipment,” as covered by this part, are all persons, firms, corporations or associations who buy and sell or distribute at wholesale or retail to users and consumers, anhydrous ammonia as a fertilizer, or equipment used in the installation, storage, handling, utilization and dispensing of anhydrous ammonia as a fertilizer. Manufacturers of anhydrous ammonia, or manufacturers or jobbers that wholesale anhydrous ammonia equipment, when sold to dealers or distributors, as defined in this part, or any person or persons, firms or corporations owning or maintaining storage facilities for anhydrous ammonia as a fertilizer for their own use and accommodation, and for the use and accommodation of their tenant or sharecropper, are not to be classed as dealers within the meaning and intention of this part.

  No person, firm, corporation or association shall engage in business as a dealer in anhydrous ammonia as a fertilizer, or as a dealer in equipment used in the handling of anhydrous ammonia as a fertilizer within this state without first having obtained from the commissioner of agriculture a permit. This permit shall be issued only after proper written application is made and filed and after all requirements established with respect to dealers have been complied with by the applicant.   Before engaging in business as a dealer, the applicant for a permit shall furnish a bond for the sum of one thousand dollars ($1,000) with good and solvent surety, payable to the state of Tennessee, and issued by a bonding company or companies licensed to do business in this state and acceptable by the commissioner, which bond shall serve as a guarantee that the dealer will comply with all the provisions of this part and all of the rules and regulations established with respect to the sale and handling of anhydrous ammonia as a fertilizer, and the sale and handling or installation of equipment used in the handling of anhydrous ammonia as a fertilizer.   Before engaging in business as a dealer, the applicant for a permit shall satisfy the commissioner that the applicant is financially responsible; and this provision as to financial responsibilities will be complied with by filing with the commissioner evidence that the applicant has applied for and the applicant's application for insurance has been approved, on standard contract forms, and to be issued by insurance company or companies licensed to do business in this state in an amount of not less than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000).   In lieu of filing with the commissioner evidence of insurance coverages as set forth in subsection (c), the applicant may file with the commissioner a good and sufficient surety bond executed by a surety company licensed to do business in the state of Tennessee, in an amount not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000), which bond shall be payable to the state of Tennessee and shall be conditioned to guarantee the payment of all damages for which the dealer may be legally responsible while engaged in the business as a dealer.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 43 - Agriculture and Horticulture|Chapter 11 - Fertilizers and Liming Materials|Part 4 - Liming Materials|§ 43-11-403. Labeling and Identification

  Agricultural liming materials sold, offered or exposed for sale in the state shall have affixed to each package in a conspicuous manner on the outside thereof, a plainly printed, stamped or otherwise marked label, tag or statement, or in the case of bulk sales, a delivery slip, setting forth at least the following information:  The name and principal office address of the manufacturer or distributor;   The brand or trade name of the material;   The identification of the product as to the type of the agricultural liming material;   The net weight of the agricultural liming material;   The minimum percentage of calcium oxide and magnesium oxide and/or calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate;   Calcium carbonate equivalent as determined by methods prescribed by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists. Minimum calcium carbonate equivalents will be as prescribed by regulation;   The minimum percent by weight passing through United States standard sieves as prescribed by regulations; and   The minimum guaranteed content of available potassium (expressed as soluble Potash, K2O) or phosphorous (expressed as phosphoric acid, P2O5) if claimed.     No information or statement shall appear on any package, label, delivery slip or advertising matter that is false or misleading to the purchaser as to the quality, analysis, type or composition of the agricultural liming material.

At every site from which agricultural liming materials are delivered in bulk and at every place where consumer orders for bulk deliveries are placed, there shall be conspicuously posted a copy of the statement required by this section for each brand of material.   When the commissioner finds, after public hearing following due notice, that the requirement for expressing the calcium and magnesium in elemental form would not impose an economic hardship on distributors and users of agricultural liming materials by reason of conflicting label requirements among the states, the commissioner may require by regulation thereafter that the minimum percentage of calcium oxide and magnesium oxide and/or calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate shall be expressed in the following form:  Total calcium (Ca)   percent   Total magnesium (Mg)   percent   provided, that the effective date of such regulation shall be not less than six (6) months following the issuance of the regulation; and provided further, that for a period of two (2) years following the effective date of the regulation, the equivalent of calcium and magnesium may also be shown in the form of calcium oxide and magnesium oxide and/or calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate.
