All applicants for a crew leader certificate of registration shall furnish evidence satisfactory to the commissioner of his good character, knowledge of and experience with the labor laws applicable to crew leaders and farmers and food processing laborers and any other evidence which the commissioner may establish by rule and regulation. In addition, any applicant transporting seasonal farm workers shall furnish proof satisfactory to the commissioner of compliance with the statutory and regulatory requirements of the New Jersey Division of Motor Vehicles. The commissioner may refuse to issue a certificate of registration to any applicant who does not meet the requirements of this section or any applicable rules or regulations issued hereunder.
The commissioner may, however, at his discretion and upon receipt of a signed application from a crew leader stating seasonal farm workers will not be transported by him issue a registration certificate on which the words "not authorized to transport" are conspicuously placed.
