30157. Upon receipt of a completed application, the board shall
issue to the applicant a license as a wholesaler. A separate license
shall be issued for each place of business of the wholesaler within

be conspicuously displayed at the place for which issued. The
license is not transferable and is valid until canceled, suspended,
or revoked.

30158. Whenever any wholesaler fails to comply with any provision
of this part or any rule or regulation of the board prescribed and

should not be revoked or suspended, may revoke or suspend the license
held by him. The notice may be served personally or by mail in the
manner prescribed for service of notice of a deficiency
determination. The board shall not issue a license to a wholesaler
whose license has been revoked or suspended unless it is satisfied
that he will comply with the provisions of this part and the rules
and regulations of the board.

30159. Any person required to obtain a license as a wholesaler
under this part who engages in business as a wholesaler without a
license or after a license has been canceled, suspended, or revoked,
and each officer of any corporation which so engages in business, is
guilty of a misdemeanor.
