(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.
