having obtained the appropriate license from the agency.
(b) A person may not be licensed to operate a particular facility
unless all facilities operated by the person in Indiana also qualify to be
and are licensed under this chapter. A person that operates multiple
facilities for the storage or handling of grain in Indiana must obtain a
license that covers all facilities operated by the person.

terminated.
(d) If a licensee acquires an additional grain storage or handling
facility in Indiana, the licensee shall promptly submit to the agency an
amended application for licensure. A licensee shall promptly notify the
agency of a material change to the licensee's operations, such as
expansion of the amount of storage being used in the licensee's existing
facilities or change of ownership of a facility, and shall provide the
director with additional information the director may require. A
licensee shall obtain the approval of the director before making use of
increased storage or handling capacity.
(e) A licensee that acquires an additional grain storage or handling
facility that is required to be licensed may not use the facility for the
storage or handling of grain until it qualifies for and is issued a license
and is licensed as provided in this chapter. If a licensed grain storage
or handling facility that a licensee operates in Indiana becomes
ineligible for a license at any time for any reason, the facility may not
be used for the storage or handling of grain until the condition making
it ineligible is removed.
