# O.C.G.A. § 27-2-23.1. Raccoon fur seller’s license.

(a) In addition to the fur dealers’ licenses provided for in Code Section 27-2-23, the department shall issue a raccoon fur seller’s license for an annual fee of $5.00. A person to whom a raccoon fur seller’s license has been issued shall be authorized to sell the raw, undressed furs, hides, skins, or pelts of raccoons lawfully taken by any means other than by trapping.

(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to sell the raw, undressed fur, hide, skin, or pelt of a raccoon lawfully taken by means other than trapping unless such person has a current valid raccoon fur seller’s license issued by the department. Any person violating this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

(c) A person who purchases or sells raw, undressed furs, hides, skins, or pelts of raccoons taken by trapping and by means other than trapping shall be considered a fur dealer within the meaning of this Code section and must be licensed therefor as provided in Code Section 27-2-23. The license authorized by this Code section shall be issued only to persons who take raccoons exclusively by lawful means other than trapping.
