      and agents of any business licensed pursuant to this chapter who perform
      any  function  directly  related  to  the  handling or transportation of
      seafood within or from the market area. Such cards shall be termed class
      A photo  identification  cards  and  shall  be  issued  subject  to  the
      provisions  set  forth in section 22-216 of this chapter and the fee for
      such card established by the commissioner by rule  pursuant  to  section
      22-223  of  this  chapter.  Such  cards  shall  be displayed so as to be
      readily visible to others during  the  hours  of  market  operation,  as
      designated by the market manager.
        b.  (i)  In  addition  to  the identification cards issued pursuant to
      subdivision a of this section, the  market  manager  shall  issue  photo
      identification  cards  to those principals and employees of any business
      entity registered pursuant to this chapter and also to any agent of such
      registrant, other person or business entity who  performs  any  function
      directly related to the handling and transportation of seafood within or
      from  the market area. Such identification cards shall be termed class B
      photo  identification  cards  and  shall  be  issued  subject  to   such
      requirements  and  fees  as  the  commissioner  shall promulgate by rule
      pursuant to  section  22-223  of  this  chapter.  Such  cards  shall  be
      displayed  so  as  to  be  readily visible to others during the hours of
      market operation designated by the market manager.
        (ii)  Notwithstanding  any  provision   of   this   subdivision,   the
      commissioner  may,  when  there  is  reasonable cause to believe that an
      applicant for a class B photo identification card lacks good  character,
      honesty  and integrity, require that such applicant be fingerprinted and
      provide to the commissioner the information set forth in  subdivision  a
      of  section  22-216  of  this  chapter. The commissioner may thereafter,
      after notice and opportunity to  be  heard,  refuse  to  issue  a  photo
      identification  card  for the reasons set forth in subdivision b of such
      section.
        (iii) If at any time subsequent to the issuance of  a  class  B  photo
      identification  card,  there  is  reasonable  cause  to believe that the
      holder thereof does not possess good character, honesty  and  integrity,
      the  commissioner  may  require  such  person to be fingerprinted and to
      provide the background information required by subdivision a of  section
      22-216  of  this  chapter  and  may,  after notice and opportunity for a
      hearing, revoke such class B photo identification card for  the  reasons
      set forth in subdivision b of such section.
        c.  The  market  manager  may,  where appropriate, issue a provisional
      photo identification card to an employee  or  agent  of  a  licensee  or
      registrant  who  has  submitted the information and fee required by this
      chapter or any rules promulgated thereunder. A photo identification card
      issued pursuant to this paragraph shall be valid until the  commissioner
      has either issued or denied a permanent identification card, unless such
      provisional  card  has  been  revoked  or  suspended  prior  thereto  in
      accordance with the procedures set forth in  this  chapter.  The  market
      manager,  may,  in  his  or  her  discretion,  also  make  provision for
      temporary identification cards, which shall be valid for a period not to
      exceed six weeks,  to  be  issued  to  persons  employed  by  unloaders,
      loaders,  wholesalers  and  seafood  deliverers  on  a seasonal or other
      temporary basis.
        d. A photo identification card issued pursuant to this  section  shall
      bear  a  photograph  of  the person to whom it was issued and such other
      identifying information as may be specified by the commissioner.
