§ 212-b. Farm labor camp commissaries; issuance of permit; renewal,
refusal, suspension, and revocation of permit; rules and regulations.
1. No person shall operate a farm labor camp commissary, or cause or
allow the operation of a farm labor camp commissary, without a permit
from the commissioner to do so, and unless such permit is in full force
and effect. Application for such permit shall be made on a form
prescribed by the commissioner.

2. A permit to operate a farm labor camp commissary must be
conspiciously posted in the commissary. The permit may not be
transferred or assigned, and shall run for a period not to exceed twelve
months, which period shall end on the thirty-first day of March, unless
sooner revoked by the commissioner. The permit may be renewed each year
upon the filing of an application for renewal on a form prescribed by
the commissioner.

3. A permit-holder shall post, and keep posted, in a conspicuous place
in the commissary, the current prices of all goods sold or leased, and
the prices charged shall not exceed the prices listed on the poster.

4. The commissioner may refuse, revoke, or suspend a permit when he
finds that:

(a) the applicant or permit-holder has violated any of the provisions
of this chapter or of the penal law, or has been convicted of any crime
or offense, except traffic violations, or is not a person of good
character or responsibility; or

(b) the applicant or permit-holder has made any misrepresentation or
false statements in his application for a permit.

5. The commissioner shall not refuse, revoke, or suspend a permit
unless the applicant or permit-holder, upon due notice, has been given
an opportunity to be heard; provided however, that pending the
determination of such hearing, the commissioner may temporarily suspend
a registration if, in his opinion, its suspension for such period is
necessary to effectuate the purposes of the section.

6. The commissioner may promulgate rules and regulations necessary to
carry out the provisions of this section.
