Latest version.
  • Any person designated for
      the  purpose  shall have access to and may enter at all reasonable hours
      all places where melloream is being manufactured, packaged or stored for
      sale or distribution in the  state  of  New  York,  where  melloream  is
      otherwise  being  handled or sold in the state of New York, or where the
      books, papers, records or documents relating to  such  transactions  are
      kept,  and  shall  have  power  to  inspect  and  copy the same, and may
      administer oaths and take testimony  for  the  purpose  of  ascertaining
      facts  which  in  the  judgment  of  the  commissioner  are necessary to
      administer this article. The commissioner may inspect a plant beyond the
      boundary of the state, and when  he  does,  the  applicant  or  licensee
      shall,  prior  to  such  inspection,  agree  to  pay, in addition to the
      license fee provided pursuant to subdivision two of section  fifty-g  of
      this  article,  fees for the inspection of the plant by the commissioner
      or his representatives. Such fees shall be twenty-five dollars for  each
      day  consisting  of seven hours or part thereof during which an employee
      of the commissioner spends traveling to  and  from  and  inspecting  the
      plant.  In  addition  the  applicant  or licensee shall agree to pay all
      necessary expenses including but not limited to expenses for  traveling,
      lodging  and meals. The commissioner may, if satisfied with the adequacy
      of inspection by some other regulatory agency,  and  if  satisfied  that
      there   is   substantial   compliance   with   the  regulations  of  the
      commissioner, forego actual inspection of  such  out-of-state  plant  or
      plants.
