Sec. 21a-52. (Formerly Sec. 19-198). License fees. The license fee for a retail
manufacturer of frozen desserts shall be twenty-five 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 fifty dollars
for the first twenty-five thousand gallons or fraction thereof and an additional seventy-five 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 twenty-five hundred 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.
