Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
					 During the period of 60 days following the adoption of this Group, the Director
					 may issue licenses pursuant to this Group to persons who on the date of
					 adoption were engaged in a business required to be licensed hereunder and whose
					 facilities did not meet all of the standards so required; provided, however,
					 the Director shall require the applicant to agree to time-phased plans for
					 meeting said facility standards within 6 months from the date of issuance of
					 the license. Any license so issued shall be conditioned upon time-phased
					 compliance, which may include dates for the following: submission of plans,
					 contracts for construction and approvals of government officials concerned,
					 start of construction and satisfactory continuance of construction, periodic
					 inspections and approvals during construction and final inspection and
					 approval. If the Director finds the licensee has failed to comply with any such
					 condition he may, upon notice, take action to withdraw the privileges of the
					 license.
(b) The licensing
					 provisions of this Group 3 shall not apply to a retail store which (1) repacks
					 for sale at the retail store properly labeled and denatured fresh or frozen pet
					 food into properly labeled consumer sized containers or (2) sells at retail
					 properly labeled pet food made at the retail store entirely from nonadulterated
					 meat and meat byproducts.
(c) The
					 Director may require any person licensed or seeking a license under this Group
					 3 to provide to him statements under penalty of perjury concerning any
					 operation authorized by the license or violation of law or regulations. If the
					 statements do not adequately deal with the matter, the Director may require
					 further statements under penalty of perjury as to such additional matters.
					 Failure of the licensee to provide the Director with such statements and any
					 supporting documents or materials called for shall be grounds for disciplinary
					 action against the license, and where further violations may be introduced,
					 from preventing operation of the licensed facility.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of
					 this Group 3, whenever there is reason to believe a product has not been
					 handled in accordance with laws and these regulations, the Director may stop
					 the operation involved, hold the product, and require the operator, licensee or
					 person in possession to show such compliance, and failing the showing of such
					 compliance, the Director may condemn the product and require the operator,
					 licensee or person in possession to pay the cost of such
					 condemnation.
