LICENSE AND RENEWAL FEE; BOND OR IRREVOCABLE LETTER OF CREDIT REQUIRED;
EXEMPTION (§ 3.2-4755)

A. All applications a for license or license renewal shall be accompanied by a
license fee of $40, $10 for each branch location and agent, and a good and
sufficient bond in an amount of $2,000 or an amount equal to the maximum amount
of gross business done in any month in the Commonwealth during the preceding
year by the applicant, whichever is greater, but in no event shall the amount of
bond required exceed $40,000. An irrevocable letter of credit for the full
amount of required bond may be submitted in lieu of a surety bond. A person, who
upon written request shows proof satisfactory to the Commissioner that he is a
cash buyer, shall be exempted from the bonding or irrevocable letter of credit
requirements. The exemption shall be granted within 20 days of the receipt of
the exemption request, unless the Commissioner requests the dealer to provide
additional necessary information or unless the request is denied.

B. Any licensed grain dealer who fails to apply and qualify for the renewal of a
license on or before the date of expiration, shall pay a penalty of $25, which
shall be added to the original license fee and shall be paid by the applicant
before the renewal may be issued.
