North Dakota § 19-08-04

• Jurisdiction: North Dakota
• Title 19: Foods, Drugs, Oils, and Compounds
• Ch. 19-08: Beverages

Text

The department may require manufacturers, importers, jobbers, or other retailers to furnish
suitable samples to the department for inspection and chemical analysis. If any beverage does
not meet all requirements of law, the department shall refuse to license the beverage and shall
prevent sale of the beverage. The license fee must be paid annually during the month of
December or before placing the beverage on the market. The license expires December
thirty-first next following its issuance. If the manufacturer or jobber secures a license for a
product, subsequent sellers, including retailers and dispensers, need not again secure a license
for the same product, and no dispenser may be required to secure a license for a product
prepared for the dispenser's own use from a product already licensed. The department may
adopt rules establishing the amount and the procedures for the collection of annual license fees.
License fees collected pursuant to this section must be deposited in the department's operating
fund in the state treasury and any expenditure from the fund is subject to appropriation by the
legislative assembly.
