(520 ILCS 5/3.18) (from Ch. 61, par. 3.18)
Sec. 3.18. Any individual not 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, shall be a non-resident fur buyer in the meaning of this Act. Non-resident fur buyer permits shall be issued by the Department. Non-resident fur buyers must obtain a non-resident fur buyer permit before receiving, collecting, or purchasing the green hides of fur-bearing mammals within this State except that a non-resident fur buyer permit shall not be required for purchasing the green hides of fur-bearing mammals from resident wholesale fur buyers and resident retail fur buyers as defined in Sections 3.11 and 3.12. The annual fee for each nonresident fur buyer permit shall be $250.00. All non-resident fur buyer permits shall expire on April 30 of each year. A nonresident fur buyer 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 of 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 be construed to remove such permittee from responsibility for the observance of any federal laws, rules or regulations which may apply to the green hides of fur-bearing mammals.
