Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(520 ILCS 5/3.24) (from Ch. 61, par. 3.24)
Sec. 3.24.
Before any person, except permittees under Section 3.23 of
this Act, shall engage in buying, selling or processing wild game for the purpose
of buying, selling or shipping the same, including the carcasses of
fur-bearing mammals, for public consumption, he shall
first procure a license
to do so from the Department. Dealers in deer, or any parts thereof,
legally taken and possessed in and transported from, other states, shall
also be licensed under the provisions of this Section. All such deer, or
parts thereof, shall be marked with permanent irremovable tags, or
similar devices, to establish and retain their origin and identity.
The terms "buying or selling" include buying or selling by hotel
keepers, restaurant keepers and others engaged in buying or selling
prepared foods for consumption.
A permit shall be procured for each separate market or place of
business operated by any person who sells wild game for public
consumption and for each vehicle from
which game or fur-bearing mammals are sold. Such
permits shall be
conspicuously displayed at all times.
This permit shall be known as a processed wild game dealer's permit. It
shall be issued by the Department for a fee of $25.00 annually and shall
expire on March 31st of each year. The Department may prescribe
the necessary forms as may be desirable for the maintenance of records
by the licensee, to record all transactions in wild game that may be
marketed under the provisions of the laws of this State and game
imported legally from other states.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to give the holder of a
processed wild game dealer's permit authority to take game birds, game
or fur-bearing mammals in their wild state contrary to other provisions of this Act.
The person in possession of such game birds and mammals has the burden
of proving the legality of his possession.
