Sec. 7. (a) A combined grocery (marketing fresh vegetables, fresh eggs, and dairy products) and meat market (marketing fresh meat) in a township having a population of more than ten thousand (10,000) is eligible to accept food purchase orders from the township trustee, as administrator of township assistance, in the township in which the market is located if the owner of the market has applied to the township trustee using a form prescribed by the state board of accounts.
(b) A market described in subsection (a) remains eligible to accept township food purchase orders unless any of the following conditions exist:
(1) The owner notifies the township trustee, as administrator of township assistance, to remove the owner's market from the eligible list.
(2) An appropriate health or other governmental agency closes the market.
(3) The township trustee, as administrator of township assistance, removes the market from the eligible list for a period not to exceed six (6) months because the management of the market, in filling a township food or household supply order:
(A) includes in the order tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, or other nonqualifying items; or
(B) fails to routinely request identification from an individual who redeems a township purchase order.
(4) A person who owns or is employed by the market has been convicted of township assistance fraud under IC 12-20-1-4(c).
