§  128-a. Licenses. 1. No person shall manufacture any commercial feed in this state unless such person holds a license issued therefor by  the commissioner.  Each  application  for  a license shall be made on a form supplied by the department and shall contain such information as may  be required  by the department. A license issued on or before the thirtieth of June will expire on the thirty-first of December of the year  of  its issuance,  and  if  issued between July first and December thirty-first, will expire on the thirty-first day of December in  the  year  following its  issuance.  Renewal  applications  shall  be made annually on a form prescribed by the commissioner and submitted no later than  thirty  days prior to the expiration of the existing license.   2.  The  commissioner may deny any application for a license or revoke any license when granted, after written notice to the applicant  and  an opportunity to be heard, when:  (a) any statement in the application or upon which it was issued is or was false or misleading;  (b)  facilities  of  the  applicant  are not maintained in a manner as required by rules and regulations duly promulgated by the commissioner;  (c)  the  maintenance  and  operation  of  the  establishment  of  the applicant is such that the commercial feed produced therein is or may be adulterated,  misbranded, or not maintained in any manner as required by this article;  (d) the applicant or licensee, or an  officer,  director,  partner  or holder of ten per centum or more of the voting stock of the applicant or licensee,  has  failed  to  comply  with  any  of the provisions of this article or rules and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto; or  (e) the applicant or licensee is a partnership or corporation and  any individual  holding any position or interest or power of control therein has previously been responsible in whole or  in  part  for  any  act  on account of which an application for licensure may be denied or a license revoked pursuant to the provisions of this article.   3.  Inspection in accordance with section one hundred thirty-five-a of this article,  the  results  of  which  establish  compliance  with  the provisions  of  this  article,  shall  precede  issuance of a license or renewal thereof under this section.   4. Upon validation by the commissioner, the application  shall  become the license of the person.   5.  The  commissioner  shall  provide  a  copy  of  the license to the licensee.  The commissioner shall also retain a copy of the license.   6. No licensee shall publish or advertise the sale of  any  commercial feed  unless  the  publication  or  advertisement is accompanied by such licensee's license number.   7. Commercial feed licenses shall be conspicuously  displayed  on  the premises  so  that they may be readily seen by officers and employees of the department.   8. Notwithstanding the definition of commercial feed under subdivision seven  of  section  one  hundred  twenty-eight  of  this  article,   the provisions  of  this  section shall not apply to a person who conducts a business of selling pet food and specialty pet food.
