(1) Every licensed citrus fruit dealer shall register with the Department of Agriculture each and every agent who weighs citrus fruit for use in computing the amount to be paid, or who is authorized to represent them in transactions involving the consignment, purchase or sale of citrus fruit in fresh form prior to its being delivered to a packing house or processing plant. A person who holds a valid citrus fruit dealer’s license need not be registered as an agent in order to do business in the name in which said license is issued.
    (2) In applying for registration of an agent, a citrus fruit dealer may advise the Department of Agriculture that the agent’s authority to represent the dealer is restricted to the weighing of citrus fruit for use in computing the amount to be paid therefor.
