(1) Every dealer must on receiving spirits accompanied by a permit immediately cancel the permit by writing in large letters in ink across the front of the same the word “Received” and the date and hour of such receipt, or by drawing lines in ink diagonally across the front of the permit, and must deliver the cancelled permit to the officer who first inspects his or her premises after such receipt and who requires its production.
(2) If any person contravenes this section he or she shall incur a penalty not exceeding $1,000, but a penalty shall not be incurred for the failure to deliver a permit if it is proved that the failure is caused by the permit having been lost or accidentally destroyed more than 3 months after the date thereof.
