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.
