Sec. 3. (a) A person that operates a milk plant, operates a receiving station or transfer station, acts as a milk distributor, acts as a bulk milk hauler/sampler, operates a milk tank truck, operates a dairy farm, operates a milk tank truck cleaning facility, operates a business that manufactures containers for milk or milk products, or any other person that does not possess a permit from the board may not:

(1) bring, send, or receive into Indiana for sale;

(2) sell or offer for sale in Indiana; or

(3) store in Indiana;

any milk or milk products. Grocery stores, restaurants, soda fountains, and similar establishments where milk or milk products are served or sold at retail, but not processed, are exempt from the requirements of this section. The board may recognize a permit issued by another state for a truck used to transport milk instead of issuing an Indiana permit for the same truck.

     (b) To obtain a permit required by this chapter, a person must submit a written application to the board, in the form prescribed by the board.

     (c) Only a person who complies with this chapter is entitled to receive and retain a permit. Permits are not transferable with respect to persons or locations.
