Okla. Stat. tit. 29, § 29-4-103B: Commercial turtle buyer's license

A. No person may buy, transport out of state or export aquatic

turtles from this state without having first procured a commercial

turtle buyer's license from the Director.

B. The fee for an annual license under this section shall be

Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) for residents and Five Hundred Dollars

($500.00) for nonresidents. Prior to the issuance of such license

the applicant shall file with the Department a good and sufficient

surety bond by a surety company licensed to do business in this

state in the sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) conditioned

upon the observance and compliance with the provisions of the

Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Code, which bond will be forfeited to

the Department upon conviction for the violation of any provision of

this section, or Section 4-101 or 5-602 of this title or any rule of

the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission.

C. The Director shall not issue a commercial turtle buyer's

license to residents of any other state which does not allow

residents of Oklahoma the opportunity to purchase such license in

their state.

D. Any person who buys or exports aquatic turtles from this

state shall pay the Department as a severance fee an amount equal to

three percent (3%) of the dollar value of turtles purchased or

received from licensed commercial turtle harvesters. The payment

shall be computed from the purchase records completed and maintained

by the licensee for each and every purchase made. Such purchase

records along with the fee and an accurate report of all turtles

exported from this state for each month shall be submitted to the

Department by the fifteenth day of the following month. The

Wildlife Commission shall issue such rules and reporting

requirements governing the purchases and exports and shall design

all forms necessary for the operation of these provisions.

E. Any person convicted of violating any provision of this

section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not

less than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), nor more than One Thousand

Dollars ($1,000.00), or by imprisonment not to exceed thirty (30)

days, or by both fine and imprisonment. In addition, such person

shall forfeit his license and not be permitted to renew the license

for a one-year period.
