§ 258. Application for license. An applicant for a license to operate
as a milk dealer shall file an application upon a blank prepared under
authority of the commissioner. An applicant shall state such facts
concerning his circumstances and the nature of the business to be
conducted as in the opinion of the commissioner are necessary for the
administration of this chapter. Such application shall be accompanied
by the license fee required to be paid. The commissioner may, for the
purpose of establishing the rate of license fees and otherwise carrying
out the duties of the commissioner under this chapter, classify licenses
and issue licenses to milk dealers to carry on a certain kind of
business, including but not limited to the purchase of milk, sale or
distribution of milk, processing or manufacture of milk, bargaining and
collecting for the sale of milk, dealing in or brokering milk, and
hauling milk. Upon a finding that the applicant qualifies for a license
under the standards set forth in section two hundred fifty-eight-c of
this article, the commissioner shall issue such applicant a license.

A license shall be for a period not exceeding one year. An application
for renewal of license must be duly made at least sixty days before the
expiration of such license by all milk dealers then doing business.
