2009 California Food and Agricultural Code - Section 57131-57134 :: Article 2. Licenses

57131.  It is unlawful for any person to establish or operate a
dairy produce exchange unless he has first obtained from the director
a license to do so.

57132.  Every dairy produce exchange, and any person that desires to
operate a dairy produce exchange, before engaging in such activity,
shall file with the director a written application for a license,
accompanied by the license fee which is prescribed by Section 57134.
The application shall state all of the following information:
   (a) The name under which the dairy produce exchange proposes to
operate.
   (b) The location of its place of business.
   (c) The names of its officers, directors, and the persons, firms,
corporations, or associations which constitute its membership.
   (d) A certified copy of its articles of incorporation, its
constitution and bylaws, and the rules and regulations and bases of
trade under which it proposes to operate.

57133.  The director shall examine the application, and if he finds
that the applicant has fully complied with the provisions of this
chapter, he shall issue a license which authorizes the applicant to
operate a dairy produce exchange. The license shall recite in bold
type that the issuance of the license is permissive only and does not
constitute a recommendation or endorsement of the rules and
regulations or bases of trade under which the applicant proposes to
operate.

57134.  For each license, the director shall charge the sum of one
hundred dollars ($100), which sum shall accompany the application for
the license. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, each
license which is issued by the director shall continue in effect so
long as the licensee shall continue in business, and shall pay a fee
of one hundred dollars ($100) annually to the director. Such fee is
payable on the first Monday of each calendar year.
