(240 ILCS 35/2) (from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 79.2)

Any person, firm or corporation desiring such a license shall make written application to the Department for that purpose, stating the location of the refrigerated warehouse. The Director or his agents thereupon shall make an examination of the refrigerated warehouse and, if it is in a proper sanitary condition and otherwise properly equipped for its intended use, he shall issue a license authorizing the applicant to operate it as a refrigerated warehouse for one year. The licensing cycle shall be the same as the State fiscal year and a license shall be issued upon payment by the applicant of a license fee of $50 per annum to the Department.

Any license issued under the provisions of the Act herein repealed that is valid immediately prior to the time this Act takes effect shall be considered as a license issued under the provisions of this Act and shall continue in effect until its expiration date unless sooner revoked under the provisions of this Act.
