Sec. 2c.
Dealer License.
No person shall be engaged in the business
of buying wild or cultivated ginseng from harvesters, growers or other dealers
for resale to exporters or to other dealers unless the person has a license
issued by the Department to be a dealer of ginseng. The fee for a dealer's
license is $50.00 for Illinois residents and $100.00 for nonresidents and
is valid from April 1 through March 31. A dealer shall maintain records,
open to duly authorized agents of the Department, of the quantity of material
purchased and sold, the county where purchased ginseng was harvested, and
other information required by the Department by administrative rule, and
shall make reports to the Department as required. The Department shall
establish by administrative rule procedures for issuing licenses, keeping
records, reporting transactions, and certifying the origin of ginseng.
The Department shall supply free of additional charge, proper forms to dealers
for all required data and information. A dealer may purchase roots of wild
ginseng harvested in Illinois only during the period from two weeks
after the opening of the harvest
season for wild ginseng to the following March 1, or may purchase at any
time wild or cultivated ginseng harvested in another state and certified
for export by that state.
