[§ 5735.02.6] § 5735.026. Application for exporter type A or type B license.
 

(A)  The tax commissioner, for purposes of administering this chapter, shall issue two classes of export licenses: "exporter type A" licenses and "exporter type B" licenses. To qualify for an exporter type A license, a person must demonstrate to the tax commissioner's satisfaction that the person is licensed to collect and remit motor fuel taxes in the specified state of destination. To qualify for an exporter type B license, a person must demonstrate to the tax commissioner's satisfaction that the person is statutorily prohibited from obtaining a license to collect and remit motor fuel taxes in the specified state of destination, and that the person is licensed to sell or distribute tax-paid motor fuel in the specified state of destination. 

(B)  To obtain an exporter's license of either class, a person shall file, under oath, an application with the commissioner in such form as the commissioner prescribes. The application shall set forth the following information: 

(1) The name under which the exporter will transact business within the state; 

(2) The location, including street number address, of the exporter's principal office or place of business; 

(3) The name and address of the owner, or the names and addresses of the partners if such exporter is a partnership, or the names and addresses of the principal officers if the exporter is a corporation or an association; 

(4) A certified copy of the certificate or license issued by the Secretary of State showing that the corporation is authorized to transact business in this state if the exporter is a corporation organized under the laws of another state, territory, or country; 

(5) For an exporter type A license, a copy of the applicant's license or certificate to collect and remit motor fuel taxes or sell or distribute motor fuel in the specified destination state or states for which the license or certificate is to be issued; 

(6) Any other information the commissioner may require. 

(C) (1)  After a hearing as provided in division (C)(2) of this section, the tax commissioner may refuse to issue a license to transact business as an exporter of motor fuel in the following circumstances: 

(a) The applicant has previously had a license issued under this chapter canceled for cause by the tax commissioner; 

(b) The tax commissioner believes that an application is not filed in good faith; 

(c) The applicant has previously violated any provision of this chapter; 

(d) The application is filed as a subterfuge by the applicant for the real person in interest who has previously had a license issued under this chapter canceled for cause by the tax commissioner or who has violated any provision of this chapter. 

(2) The tax commissioner shall conduct a hearing before refusing to issue a license to transact business as an exporter in any of the circumstances described in division (C)(1) of this section. The applicant shall be given five days' notice, in writing, of the hearing. The applicant may appear in person or be represented by counsel, and may present testimony at the hearing. 

(D)  When an application in proper form has been accepted for filing, the commissioner shall issue to such exporter a license to transact business as an exporter of motor fuel in this state, subject to cancellation of such license as provided by law. 

(E)  No person shall make a false or fraudulent statement on the application required by this section.
