Section 21a-52. (Formerly Sec. 19-198). - License fees.

The license fee for a retail manufacturer of frozen desserts shall be fifty dollars for each plant. The license fee for a wholesale manufacturer to manufacture frozen desserts or frozen dessert mix within Connecticut or to sell within Connecticut, as the case may be, shall be one hundred dollars for the first twenty-five thousand gallons or fraction thereof and an additional one dollar and fifty cents per thousand gallons or fraction thereof above twenty-five thousand gallons manufactured or sold in Connecticut during the previous calendar year, provided such fee shall not exceed two thousand seven hundred fifty dollars. In any case where dessert mix is manufactured by a particular manufacturer and such mix is subsequently converted by the same manufacturer into frozen dessert, either in the same plant or in another owned by such manufacturer, the license fee payable by such manufacturer on account of all of the processes wherein such mix is concerned shall be computed on the basis of the total number of gallons of finished frozen desserts so manufactured using such mix, and no license fee shall be due or payable on any such frozen mix so manufactured and used. The fee shall be tendered to the Commissioner of Consumer Protection with the application and, upon the issuance of the license, shall be remitted by the commissioner to the State Treasurer.
