§ 28.2-546. Permit to carry oysters out of state
A. It shall be unlawful for any person to carry, or attempt to carry, or to buy for the purpose of carrying out of this Commonwealth any size or kind of oysters taken from the public rocks, beds, or shoals until he has first obtained for each cargo a permit to do so from an officer and has paid to the Commission the required inspection and replenishment taxes with buyer's report. In place of a cargo permit, the Commissioner may grant a monthly permit at the beginning of each calendar month to a packing or shucking house located in the Commonwealth, provided that the packing or shucking house is in compliance with the provisions of this section.
B. The permit shall state the name of the boat or license number of the motor vehicle and the name and address of the owner or captain of the boat or owner or operator of the motor vehicle. The permit shall state the name and address of the person to whom the cargo of oysters is to be delivered. The permit shall specify the number of bushels and whether they are seed or shucking stock.
Before the permit shall be granted, the applicant shall certify, before an officer, that the cargo will not be delivered or discharged to any other person.
