Section 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 and shall be accompanied by a non-refundable fee of
  forty dollars.
    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.
