as a small dealer, dealer, or broker shall be an employee. No employee shall act for any small dealer, dealer, or broker unless the small dealer,
dealer, or broker is licensed, and has designated the employee to act in the small
dealer's, dealer's, or broker's behalf and has notified the department of agriculture
in the application for license or has given official notice in writing of the appointment
of the employee. The small dealer, dealer, or broker shall be accountable and responsible for all
contracts pertaining to the purchase, exchange, or sale of livestock made by the employee. The small dealer, dealer, or broker who terminates the services of an employee shall
notify the department in writing of the employee's termination. No person who is a licensed small dealer, dealer, or broker shall have livestock
exempted pursuant to divisions (B)(1) to (6) of section 943.01 of the Revised Code. (B)(1) No person who has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a violation of this chapter

volunteer, or agent of a person licensed under this chapter unless specifically authorized

offense and section 2901.20 of the Revised Code does not apply. The designation of this offense as a strict liability offense shall not be construed
to imply that any other offense, for which there is no specified degree of culpability,
