HB2948 SFA Blair 4-2 #1
Bailey 7965
Senator Blair moved to amend the bill, on pages thirty-one and thirty-two, by striking out all of section ten and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
§47-1A-10.
Sterilization processes; annual permits; fees.
(1) (a) Any sterilization process used in
connection herewith shall be approved by the commissioner. Every person
desiring to operate such sterilization process shall first obtain a numbered
permit from the commissioner and shall not operate such process unless such
permit is kept conspicuously posted in his or her establishment. The
fee for an original permit shall be twenty-five dollars. Application for
such permit shall be accompanied by the specifications for the sterilization
process to be employed by the applicant, in such form as the commissioner shall
require. The commissioner shall take final action upon all completed permit
applications within thirty days of receipt if the application is uncontested,
or within ninety days if the application is contested. Such permit shall
expire one year from date of issue and the fee for annual renewal of the sterilization
permit shall be ten dollars.
(2)
Every application for a sterilization permit to be held in a state other than
West Virginia shall be approved only after personal inspection of the
applicant's sterilizer or disinfector by the commissioner or an authorized
employee of the bedding division of the department. The expenses for such
inspections out of the state shall be paid by the applicant.
(3) (b) The commissioner may revoke
or suspend any permit for violation of the provisions of this article. Upon
notification of such revocation or suspension, the person to whom the permit
was issued, or his or her successor or assignee, shall forthwith return
such permit to the commissioner. For reissuing a revoked or expired permit,
the fee shall be the same as for an original permit.
