CHAPTER ................
AN ACT
Relating to seed sellers; amending ORS 633.700.
Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
SECTION 1. ORS 633.700 is amended to read:
633.700. (1) A person may not sell, offer or expose for sale in
this state any agricultural or vegetable seeds unless the person
holds an unsuspended license issued by the State Department of
Agriculture. A person selling, offering or exposing for sale only
flower seeds at retail must hold an unsuspended license issued by
the department. However, any person selling seeds of the person's
own production exclusively, and persons selling only flower or
vegetable seeds at retail, in packages weighing not in excess of
one-half pound, as prepared for such trade by other seed
companies, if the seed company preparing such packaged seed for
sale, has a license in force for the sale of such seed in this
state, is not required to secure such license. For the purposes
of this section, persons operating more than one branch, plant or
warehouse where seeds are sold, offered or exposed for sale shall
secure a separate license for each such branch, plant or
warehouse.
(2) Any person desiring to sell, offer or expose for sale in
this state any agricultural, flower or vegetable seeds, for
planting purposes, except as provided in this section, shall make
application to the director for a license for this purpose. The
application shall be signed by the applicant or the authorized
agent of the applicant and shall be in a form approved by the
director. Upon presentation of such signed application for a
license and the tendering of the license fee established by the
department pursuant to subsection (3) of this section, the
department shall issue the license to the applicant. The license
shall expire on June 30 next following the date of issuance or on
such date as may be specified by department rule.
(3) The department shall establish annual license fees, not to
exceed { - $40 - } { + $75 + } for a retailer's license and
not to exceed
{ - $400 - } { + $750 + } for a wholesaler's license. Only
one license shall be required for one person's operation at one
location.
