§  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.
