No person, firm or corporation shall operate a laboratory in this State for the purpose of conducting tests for bovine brucellosis for others, nor shall any person, firm or corporation conduct such tests for others, without first securing a permit from the Department. The application for such permit shall be on a form prescribed by the Department and shall set forth the name of the applicant and if a corporation, the name of its principal officers, the location where such laboratory will be operated or such tests conducted and the records thereof kept, a brief description of the training and experience of the applicant or the person in charge of conducting such tests and such additional information as will enable the Department to determine the responsibility of the applicant and the qualifications and ability of such applicant to conduct tests. If the Department finds that the applicant is responsible and appears to be qualified to conduct such tests, it shall issue a permit. Such permits shall be in effect from the date issued until revoked by the Department.
     Every person receiving a permit to operate such a laboratory or to conduct such tests shall keep a record of all tests, including the name and address of the person for whom the tests were conducted, and shall report to the Department the results of all tests. Such reports shall be made each week on forms to be prescribed by the Department.
     If the Department finds that any applicant for a permit is not responsible or is not qualified to conduct such tests, it may refuse a permit. If the Department finds that any person, firm or corporation holding a permit is no longer responsible or qualified to conduct such tests or is not correctly reporting the results of tests conducted or if the holder of any such permit shall fail to report to the Department the results of the tests conducted as herein required, the Department may revoke such permit.
