(520 ILCS 5/3.12) (from Ch. 61, par. 3.12)
Sec. 3.12.
Any individual who is a resident of the State of Illinois
who, within the State of Illinois, receives, collects, or buys, or 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 wholesale fur buyer as
defined in Section 3.11,
shall be a resident retail fur buyer in the meaning of this Act.
Resident retail fur buyer permits shall be issued by the Department and
shall expire on April 30 of
each year.
The annual fee for each resident retail fur buyer's permit shall be
$25.00. A holder of a resident retail fur buyer permit may buy, sell,
possess, transport and ship the green hides of any
legally taken fur-bearing mammals from the opening date of the
fur-bearing
mammal season to April 20 next thereafter; provided, however,
that failure
to establish proof of 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.
