What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law, with limited exceptions, generally prohibits the purchase, sale, and trading of wild animals, or parts of wild animals. Also, under current law, a person may engage in the business of purchasing, selling, and trading furs if the person has been issued a fur dealer license by the Department of Natural Resources.
This bill renames this license to a fur and feather dealer license and expands the authorization under this license for a business to buy, sell, and trade the feathers and other nonedible parts of upland game birds. If the feather or bird part from a bird that has been killed in compliance with the hunting laws is being sold, bartered, or traded by the individual who killed the game bird, the transaction is exempt under the general prohibition against dealing in wild animal parts, and also no fur and feather dealer license is needed. The bill defines an upland game bird to be a grouse, partridge, pheasant, quail, or wild turkey.
