§ 175-n. Application for permit; fee. Any person who desires to offer
baby chicks for sale at public auction or community sale shall apply for
a permit to do so prior to the date of the proposed sale to the
department of agriculture and markets on a form which shall be
prescribed and furnished by such department. The application shall be
signed by the person who proposes to conduct such sale. The application
shall designate the date of the proposed sale, the number and the breed
of the baby chicks which are to be offered for sale, and the person by
whom they were produced, and shall be accompanied by a fee in the sum of
ten dollars for each and every day or fraction thereof during or on
which it is proposed to sell baby chicks. The department of agriculture
and markets is hereby authorized in its discretion to grant or deny the
permit requested in such application. If the department deems
advisable, it may require the applicant, as a condition precedent to the
granting of such permit, to submit a certificate in such form as the
department may prescribe, certifying that the baby chicks which are to
be offered for sale are in a healthy condition and free from any such
disease as the department may designate.
