Sec. 5. (a) Classifications under which livestock dealer licenses will be issued are as follows:

1. (1) A market facility dealer license issued to stockyards, packers, concentration points, and livestock auction markets.
2. (2) An individual dealer license issued to individual dealers and market agencies not operating as a market facility.

(b) The following requirements shall be used in determining license classifications:

1. (1) A person is operating a market facility at a location when more than one (1) auction that is not exempt under section 3 of this rule is conducted at that location in a twelve (12) month period. Separate licenses are required for each location a market facility is operated. Even if a market facility license is not required for an auction, an individual dealer license may be required.
2. (2) Any person who operates a licensed market facility and deals in livestock outside of said market facility must have an individual dealer license in addition to the market facility dealer license.
3. (3) Final determination of classifications will be made by the state veterinarian.

(c) Each license described in this section shall be valid until such time as the license is voluntarily surrendered by the licensee or suspended or revoked by the state veterinarian.

(d) Applications for a license shall be on a form supplied by the state veterinarian and must contain the information requested on the form. The state veterinarian may issue a license under this rule if the applicant submits a completed application, obtains the security required under section 8 of this rule, and meets all other requirements of IC 15-17-14 and this rule.

(e) The state veterinarian may require that an applicant for a license for a new facility that is intended to be used as a market facility provide proof to the board that the new facility will be constructed in conformance with local zoning ordinances and other laws governing the establishment and operation of such a business in Indiana. The state veterinarian may refuse to issue a license until such proof is submitted.
