| | | C.__If cut-up tail sections of lobster meat are found at an | | establishment that is engaged in selling, processing or | | transporting food in any manner for human consumption, it is | | prima facie evidence that the same were not cut up for the | | purpose of personal use. |
|
| | | 9.__Penalty.__The penalty for a violation of this section is | | the same as that provided under section 6431, subsection 7. |
|
| | | Sec. 17. 36 MRSA §4714, as enacted by PL 1987, c. 513, §10, is | | amended to read: |
|
| | | 36 § 4714. Certificate required for license |
|
| | | The Department of Marine Resources shall | | renew a wholesale seafood license as set forth in Title 12, | section 6851 | | forth in Title 12, section 6855; or a shellfish certificate as | | set forth in Title 12, section 6856, for the purpose of dealing | | in mahogany quahogs without proof of certification by the State | | Tax Assessor, as required by this chapter. The Department of | | Marine Resources shall make available to the State Tax Assessor | | any licensing information necessary to implement this section. |
|
| | | This bill consolidates into one license all wholesale and | | retail seafood activities. It repeals the requirement that | | separate permits be obtained for processing lobster meat, lobster | | tails and lobster tail parts. It retains the current limitations | | on how lobster meat, lobster tails and lobster tail parts may be | | processed, but it consolidates those provisions from 3 sections | | of law into one section. |
