(a)Manufacturers of bell jar tickets, coin boards, merchandise boards and seal cards who offer for sale or resale such tickets, coin boards, merchandise boards, seal cards or bell jar dispensing machines into New York State shall be licensed by the commission. Manufacturers of bell jar tickets, coin boards, merchandise boards, and seal cards shall be considered suppliers of such and may only sell such tickets, coin boards, merchandise boards and seal cards to distributors licensed by the commission as suppliers.
(b)For business conducted in New York State, any licensed manufacturer who sells bell jar tickets to other than a distributor licensed by the commission as a supplier shall:
(1)upon such first offense, have their license suspended for a period of 30 days;
(2)upon such second offense, participate at a hearing to be conducted by the commission and surrender their license for such period as recommended by the commission; and
(3)upon such third or subsequent offense, have their license suspended for a period of one year and shall be guilty of a class E felony. Any unlicensed manufacturer who violates this section shall be guilty of a class E felony.
(c)Bar codes.
(1)The manufacturer of bell jar tickets shall affix to the flare of each bell jar game, and to each coin board, merchandise board and seal card a bar code in a format approved by the commission.
(2)The manufacturer shall also affix to the outside of the container or wrapping containing a deal of bell jar tickets, or beneath such wrapping if such wrapping is clear, a bar code providing the same information as the bar code affixed to the flare.
(3)No person may alter the bar code that appears on the flare, on a coin board, on a merchandise board, on a seal card or on the outside of the container or wrapping or beneath clear wrapping containing a deal of bell jar tickets. Possession of a deal of bell jar tickets that has a bar code different from the serial number of the deal inside the container or wrapping as evidenced on the flare is prima facie evidence that the possessor has altered the bar code on the container or wrapping.

(3)The flare for each deal of bell jar tickets sold by a licensed manufacturer in this State shall be placed inside the wrapping of the deal that the flare describes.
(4)The bar code affixed to the flare of each bell jar game shall bear the serial number of such game as prescribed in section 4608.3 of this Part. Each number within the serial number shall be printed in digits and/or characters not less than one-half inch high.
(5)The flare of each bell jar game shall have affixed a bar code that provides:

(ii)in human readable form located in the area of the bar code:
