Sec. 29-364. (Formerly Sec. 29-104). Licenses. Denial, suspension or revocation. No person, firm or corporation may engage in the business of manufacturer, wholesaler, dealer or jobber of fireworks, under the provisions of section 29-361, until such
manufacturer, wholesaler, dealer or jobber has received a license therefor for each location where the business is to be conducted. All licenses shall be issued upon receipt of
the application therefor upon license forms provided by the State Fire Marshal, which
forms shall include such information as said marshal requires. The State Fire Marshal
shall prescribe the number of copies of each license form to be executed and the distribution of such copies. No license shall be issued until the location has been inspected by
the licensing authority and unless reasonable precautions have been taken to eliminate
hazards to life and property. All licenses issued under the provisions of this section shall
be used only by the person, firm or corporation to whom they are issued and shall not
be transferable. The State Fire Marshal may refuse to issue such a license if the State
Fire Marshal determines that the applicant has previously been convicted of a felony
or misdemeanor as a result of a violation of any provision of state or federal law relating
to the use, transport, sale, manufacture, storage or possession of explosives, fireworks,
explosive devices, illegal drugs or controlled substances. Any license issued under the
provisions of this section may be suspended or revoked by the licensing authority, after
notice and opportunity for hearing, for any violation by the licensee of any provision
of the general statutes or any regulation or ordinance relating to fireworks or conviction
of such licensee of any felony or misdemeanor as a result of a violation of any provision
of state or federal law relating to the use, transport, sale, manufacture, storage, or possession of explosives, fireworks, explosive devices, illegal drugs or controlled substances.
