Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 34-230
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
(a) Upon receiving the application and financial statement required by this act, the secretary shall make an investigation and inspection of the warehouse or warehouses covered by the application. The secretary may issue a license to the applicant if:
(1) The applicant furnishes the bond or letter of credit required by Kan. Stat. Ann. § 34-229, and amendments thereto;
(2) the warehouse or warehouses are found suitable for the proper storage of grain for which a license is applied for; and
(3) the applicant complies with all requirements for licensure prescribed by this act and rules and regulations adopted under this act.
(b) Every license shall be dated and shall designate the name of the licensee and the location of the licensed warehouse or warehouses.
(c) Each license shall expire one year from the date of its issuance except that, for the purpose of equitably distributing application dates of warehouse licenses throughout each calendar year, the secretary may issue licenses for periods longer than one year but not longer than two years. Licenses for periods longer than one year shall be charged the annual license fee, plus a monthly fee in proportion to the annual license fee for the number of months the license is issued beyond one year.
(d) Any licensee making application for renewal of a license shall submit the application, together with the licensee’s financial statement and any additional information required, at least 30 days prior to the date of expiration of the licensee’s current license. For each day that the licensee is late in submitting the application and required information, the licensee shall be penalized an additional fee of $5.
(e) The license shall be posted in a conspicuous place in the office room of the licensed warehouse at all times during the operation of the warehouse.
(f) If a licensee is convicted of any violation of the provisions of this act or if the secretary determines that a licensee does not comply with any requirement for licensure or has violated any provision of this act or of the rules and regulations adopted under this act, the secretary may at the secretary’s discretion suspend or revoke the license of the licensee. All proceedings for the suspension or revocation of licenses shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Kansas administrative procedure act.
(g) The licensee, if dissatisfied with the order of the secretary, may appeal in the manner provided by law.
