(1) Definition of Applicant. An applicant is
any person or organization who is applying for an educational wine judging
seminar permit, whose purpose is to inform and educate about the qualities and
characteristics of wines.
(2)
Application. The applicant must meet the requirements and qualifications for a
scientific or educational special use permit found in sections

applicant must submit to the Department a detailed proposal of the seminar
which must include the qualifications of the judges, the number of wines being

evaluate the application.
(3) The
applicant must post a cash or corporate surety bond in the penal sum of $1,000
payable to the Department, which the permittee has procured and must maintain
for as long as the permittee continues to operate as a special use permittee.
The bond shall be in a form approved by the attorney general, conditioned upon
the permittee's faithful compliance with 32B, Chapter 10, Special Use Permit
Act and the rules of the Commission. If the surety bond is canceled due to the
permittee's negligence, a $300 reinstatement fee may be assessed. No part of
any cash bond so posted may be withdrawn during the period the permit is in

revoked.
