Such license shall be valid for 30 consecutive days.
(2) Any person desiring to engage in business in this State as a transient nursery retailer must first present an original, or copy of, a valid nursery industry license obtained from the Department of Agriculture.
(3) Prior to issuance of a license, the Division of Revenue shall also ensure that the applicant provides proof that he or she has obtained all other necessary State, county and municipal licenses, permits, and waivers regarding the sale of their products, and operation at a particular location. The application must specify the specific location of the transient activity.
(4) If the license is not posted by the transient nursery retailer at the site of business, then the Division of Revenue shall order such retailer to cease and desist all retail activity.”
