Every person engaging in, carrying on, or conducting wholly
or in part the business of buying, selling, trading or dealing in raw
furs of fur-bearing mammals or nongame mammals is a fur dealer and
shall procure a fur dealer license. No fur dealer license shall be
required of a licensed trapper selling raw furs which he has lawfully
taken, or a domesticated game breeder selling raw furs of animals
which he has raised.
A revocable fur dealer license shall be issued to any person
upon payment of a base fee of seventy dollars ($70), as adjusted
under Section 713.
Any person who is employed by a licensed fur dealer to engage
in the business of buying, selling, trading, or dealing in raw furs
only on behalf of the fur dealer and not on his own behalf is a fur
agent and shall procure a fur agent license.
A revocable fur agent license shall be issued to any person
who is employed by a licensed fur dealer upon payment of a base fee
of thirty-five dollars ($35), as adjusted under Section 713.
A fur dealer license authorizes the person to whom it is
issued to buy, sell, barter, exchange, or possess raw furs or parts
thereof of fur-bearing mammals and nongame mammals for a term of one
year from July 1st, or if issued after the beginning of such term,
for the remainder thereof.
A fur dealer or fur agent license shall be shown upon request
to any person authorized to enforce the provisions of this code.
It shall be unlawful for any fur dealer to purchase the raw
fur of any fur-bearing mammal or nongame mammal from any person who
does not hold a valid trapping license, fur dealer license, or fur
agent license.
Every fur dealer licensed pursuant to this article shall
maintain a true and legible record of any transfer of raw furs to
show:
(a) The license number, name, and address of the seller.
(b) The signature, name, and license number, if applicable, of the buyer.
(c) The number and species of raw furs transferred, by county of take.
(d) The price paid or terms of exchange.

The record of sale, exchange, barter, or gift shall be
available for inspection at any time by the department.
Each licensed fur dealer shall submit an annual report to the
department on the sale, exchange, barter, or gift of raw furs, on
forms furnished by the department. No license shall be renewed until
such a report is received.
The receipts, records, and reports required by this article
and the information contained therein, shall be confidential, and the
records shall not be public records. Any information which is
published shall be published in such a manner as to preserve
confidentiality of the persons involved.
The commission may regulate the business of buying, selling,
trading, or dealing in raw furs, or parts thereof, of all fur-bearing
mammals or nongame mammals under a fur dealer license.
Any license issued under this chapter may be revoked by the
commission at one of the commission's regularly scheduled meetings,
upon the licensee's conviction of a violation of this article.
