A person, firm, corporation, association or society may not pack sardines, kippers, steaks or other canned herring products within the State for sale without having first filed with the Commissioner of Agriculture, Food and Rural Resources an application for license, accompanied with a fee of $50, upon receipt of which application the commissioner shall issue to the person, firm, corporation, association or society making such application a license to pack sardines, kippers, steaks or other canned herring products. Each such license covers one group of buildings constituting a packing plant in one location. The license runs from January 1st and expires in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Maine Administrative Procedure Act as to license expiration or on December 31st of each year, whichever is later, unless sooner revoked and must be renewed annually.
