(a) Any person desiring to conduct a liquidation sale shall make, at least five days prior to the date on which such sale is to be commenced, written application to the Safety-Service Director on forms furnished by the Director and sworn to by the applicant before a person authorized to administer oaths. In cases where, due to circumstances beyond the control of the applicant, application cannot be made five days prior to the commencement of the sale, the Safety-Service Director shall waive such five-day requirement. Each application shall contain the following information and such other information as the Director may deem necessary:
(1) Name and address of the owner of the goods, wares or merchandise to be sold.
(2) Name and address of the owner of the defunct business, the former stock in trade of which is to be offered for sale and the full name of such defunct business.
(3) A description of the place where the liquidation sale is to be held.
(4) The commencement and termination date of the liquidation sale.
(5) A complete and detailed inventory of the goods, wares and merchandise to be offered at the liquidation sale which may be in the form of a copy of the bill of sale from the owner of the defunct business to the person conducting the sale. Only the former stock in trade of the defunct business sold to the person conducting the liquidation sale can be sold at such sale.
(b) The filing of an application for a license, the contents of such application and the issuance of a license shall be confidential information and no disclosure thereof shall be made, except such as may be necessary in the administration of the provisions of this chapter. However, any disclosure may be made with the consent of the applicant and the filing of an application and the issuance of a license shall not be considered confidential after public notice has been given of the proposed sale.
