No person within this State may manufacture or bottle for sale any beverage without first having filed with the Commissioner
of Agriculture, Food and Rural Resources an application for a license accompanied with the fee specified in this section and

No person manufacturing or bottling any beverage outside of the State for retail sale within the State may sell or offer to
sell the same within the State unless that person has made application and secured a license to sell beverages from the commissioner

or bottled outside of the State upon being satisfied from inspection by an inspector of the department or from a statement
from the agency having enforcement of the beverage law in the state where the beverage establishment is located, that the
establishment complies with the requirements of this chapter and rules adopted under this chapter, and upon the commissioner's

such revocation. When an initial license is issued or when a license is renewed between August 1, 2000 and December 31, 2001,
the license fee is prorated based on the number of months the license is valid and the annual license fee.
[1999, c. 598, §2 (amd); §3 (aff).]
