  • No person shall sell, offer or expose for sale in
      this state any soil or plant inoculant unless licensed  as  provided  in
      this  section.   Application for a license upon a form prescribed by the
      commissioner shall be made biennially. The application shall  include  a
      statement  as  to  whether the inoculant is represented as effective for
      inoculating legumes or for some other purpose,  and  if  represented  as
      effective for the inoculation of legumes, for which legume or legumes it
      is  so  represented. With the application, the applicant shall present a
      representative sample of the soil or plant inoculant  described  in  the
      application.  The  commissioner,  if satisfied that the inoculant may be
      depended upon to  produce  an  effective  inoculation  for  the  purpose
      represented,  shall  issue  to  such applicant a license for the sale of
      such inoculant, expiring on December thirty-first of the year  following
      the  year  in which it is issued. The applicant shall pay biennially, at
      the  time  of  presenting  the  application,  to  the  commissioner  for
      remittance  to  the  state treasury, a license fee of twenty dollars for
      each brand of inoculants as defined in the rules and regulations adopted
      by the commissioner as provided in this article.
