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.
