Kansas Statutes Chapter 47. Livestock and Domestic Animals § 47-1805. Livestock dealer; registration; fees; disposition of moneys

(a) Any person operating as a livestock dealer in Kansas shall register with the Kansas department of agriculture division of animal health. Registration shall be made on an application form approved by the animal health commissioner. The application shall be accompanied by the livestock dealer registration fee or renewal fee fixed by the commissioner under subsection (b). If an application for registration or renewal of registration is denied by the commissioner or withdrawn by the applicant, the fee shall not be refunded. Unless renewed under this section, each registration shall expire on the September 30 following the date of issuance.

(b) The animal health commissioner shall determine annually the amount of funds required for the administration and enforcement of this section and K.S.A. 47-1806, and amendments thereto, and shall fix and adjust from time to time a livestock dealer registration fee and a renewal fee in such reasonable amounts as may be necessary for such purposes, except that in no case shall either the livestock dealer registration fee or the renewal fee exceed $75.

(c) The animal health commissioner shall remit all moneys received by or for the commissioner under this section to the state treasurer in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury to the credit of the animal disease control fund.
