(520 ILCS 5/3.11) (from Ch. 61, par. 3.11)
Sec. 3.11.
Any individual who is a resident of the State
of Illinois, who, within
the State of Illinois, receives, collects or buys, or who acts as an
agent or broker in the receipt, collection or purchase of the green
hides of fur-bearing mammals, protected by this Act, except an
individual who is a resident retail fur
buyer as defined in Section 3.12, shall be a resident wholesale fur
buyer in the meaning of this Act. Resident wholesale fur buyer's permits
shall be issued by the Department. The annual fee for each resident
wholesale fur buyer's permit shall be $125.00. All resident wholesale fur
buyer permits shall expire on April 30 of each year. A holder
of a resident
wholesale fur buyer permit may buy, sell, possess, transport, and ship the
green hides of any legally taken fur-bearing mammals from May 1
through April 30 next thereafter; provided, however, that failure to establish
proof of
the legality or origin of the green hides of fur-bearing mammals
shall be prima facie evidence that such green hides of fur-bearing
mammals are contraband within the State of Illinois. Nothing in this Section
shall exempt any permittee from complying to any federal laws, rules or
regulations which may apply to the green hides of fur-bearing
mammals.
