13 (1) A separate license shall be required for each place of business from
14 which seed regulated under this chapter is sold. Application for licenses
15 shall be on a form provided by the director.
16 (2) Applications shall be renewed no later than July 1 of each year.

20 section.

23 (6) An in-state seed dealer or an out-of-state seed dealer, who sells,
24 offers for sale, exposes for sale or delivers seed only in packages of less
25 than eight (8) ounces shall be exempt from this section.
26 (7) The department may suspend, revoke, or refuse to issue or renew the

29 misrepresentation in the procurement of a license; and/or
30 (2b) The licensee was guilty of violating any of the provisions of this

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 13671
Amends the Pure Seed Law to provide an exemption from licensing
requirements for certain seed dealers who sell, offer for sale,
expose for sale or deliver seed only in packages of less than
eight (8) ounces. Allows for technical corrections to be made to
the existing law.
Fiscal Impact
There will be no fiscal impact because these seed dealers do not
currently obtain a seed dealers license.
