Such identification cards shall be termed class B photo identification cards and shall be issued subject to such requirements and fees as the commissioner shall promulgate by rule pursuant to section 22-223 of this chapter. Such cards shall be displayed so as to be readily visible to others during the hours of market operation designated by the market manager.

The market manager may, where appropriate, issue a provisional photo identification card to an employee or agent of a licensee or registrant who has submitted the information and fee required by this chapter or any rules promulgated thereunder. A photo identification card issued pursuant to this paragraph shall be valid until the commissioner has either issued or denied a permanent identification card, unless such provisional card has been revoked or suspended prior thereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in this chapter. The market manager, may, in his or her discretion, also make provision for temporary identification cards, which shall be valid for a period not to exceed six weeks, to be issued to persons employed by unloaders, loaders, wholesalers and seafood deliverers on a seasonal or other temporary basis. d.
