Title 80 - ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND INDUSTRIES
COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE
Chapter 80-5-2 - CONFLICTING OR SIMILAR NAMES ON LICENSES
Section 80-5-2-.01 - Purpose
Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 11, August 30, 2024
(1) The Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries under Code of Ala. 1975, § 2-2-16, is charged with the execution and enforcement of all of the laws under which the Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries is authorized to administer. This necessarily requires the issuance of many licenses and permits for the operation of numerous activities.
(2) Since the public is necessarily involved with these permittees, licensees, and product registrations, if names are similar, there is always a chance that misrepresentation, confusion, mistake or fraud could occur.
(3) The purpose of these rules is to, as far as possible, see that the public is not misled and that there is complete understanding with exactly what entity the public is dealing.
