Code of Ala.
				1975

				defines dealer as follows: (5) DEALER. Any person engaged in the business of
				buying livestock in the State of Alabama for resale, exchange or slaughter and
				meat packing purposes, either on his own account or as agent for others on a
				commission basis or otherwise. The above definition is not construed to mean
				full-time salaried employees of a person or business already required to be
				licensed, but if a person buys livestock for more than one person or business
				unit, no matter how he is paid, he is deemed to meet the above definition of
				dealer, thereby requiring a license and bond. Those persons considered
				full-time employees of a person or business unit may be required to submit
				proof of their being carried on the rolls of a business unit as any other
				employee. Even a full-time employee of only one business unit, who is in the
				business of buying livestock in his own name, for later transfer to his
				employer, is deemed to be a dealer, as defined above.
(2) Bona fide farmers or stockman purchasing
				livestock for grazing, feeding, dairying or breeding purposes, under
Code of Ala. 1975
, §
									2-15-137,
				are exempt from the provisions of the Act, but as provided in the above
				section, any livestock purchased for the above purposes must be kept for at
				least 15 days. Any person buying and selling the same livestock within a 15 day
				period shall be deemed a Dealer, and required to meet the requirements of
				licensing and bonding.

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
All 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.
