Section 532:10-3-1 - Licensing requirements and due dates

(a) General licensing requirement. No person shall operate as a commercial pet breeder, including that no commercial pet breeder shall breed pets, advertise, sell, or offer to sell pets unless the person has obtained a permanent or temporary commercial pet breeder license from the Board in accordance with the Act. No commercial pet breeder shall operate any location that is not specifically licensed by the Board.

(b) Original application due date for commercial pet breeders operating before July 1, 2011. Persons operating as commercial pet breeders on July 1, 2011 must submit a completed initial licensing application, pay the initial application fee, and pay the initial inspection fee on or before July 15, 2011. Persons who fail to comply with this section will be in violation of the Act, and the Board may impose penalties in accordance with these rules.

(c) Original application due date for commercial pet breeders not operating before July 1, 2011. Persons not operating as commercial pet breeders on July 1, 2011 but that desire to operate as commercial bet breeders after July 1, 2011, shall submit an initial licensing application, pay the initial application fee, and pay the initial inspection fee no less than 45 days before the first day of operation as a commercial pet breeder.

(d) Renewals. All licensees, including commercial pet breeders operating under a temporary license, must annually renew their commercial pet breeder license by submitting a renewal application and paying the appropriate application fee and inspection fee no less than 60 days before the expiration date of their license. Licenses shall be effective for one year after the date of the first license issued to the licensee in a license period. For each licensee the license period shall begin during every calendar year on the month and day on which the licensee first received a license, which date shall be the earlier of the date on which the licensee received the licensee's first temporary license or first permanent license after submitting the most recent initial application to the Board. The license period shall end on the date that is one year after the date the license period began. For licensees receiving a permanent license after having received a temporary license during the same licensing period, the permanent license shall expire on the date that is one year after the date of issuance of the temporary license.

(e) Notice of renewal. The Board shall send a notice of renewal to each licensee 90 days before the expiration of the licensee's license.
