§ 700k-3. Milk dealer license fees generally
Currentness
(a) The Milk Marketing Board1 shall charge and collect license fees from milk dealers on a yearly basis, as follows:
(1) Fixed fee per milk dealer.
(2) Addition to fixed fee, for milk on which board fixes prices under the provisions of the “Milk Marketing Law,”2 received, produced or brought within the Commonwealth during the calendar year preceding the period for which the license is issued.
(3) Addition to fixed fee, for all other milk on which price is not fixed under, received, produced or brought within the Commonwealth during the calendar year preceding the period for which the license is issued. The provisions of this subsection do not apply to subdealers, subhandlers or stores.
(b) The board shall charge and collect license fees from subdealers on an annual basis.
(c) All fees required by subsections (a) and (b) shall be fixed by the board by regulation subject to the act of June 25, 1982 (P.L. 633, No. 181), known as the “Regulatory Review Act.”3 The board may, in its discretion, increase any such fee by regulation from time to time.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the license fee fixed by this section shall be paid before any license, or any renewal thereof, is issued. Where a license is applied for by a milk dealer, and the board declines to grant a license to the applicant, the license fee shall be charged and retained by the board only pro rata for so much of the license year as expired prior to the issuance of the order refusing the license.
(e) The board by regulation may establish a payment schedule for licensees on a quarterly, semiannual or other basis.
