§ 1533.08.
Except as otherwise provided by division rule, any person desiring to collect or possess
wild animals that are protected by law or their nests or eggs for scientific study,
school instruction, other educational uses, or rehabilitation shall make an annual
application to the chief of the division of wildlife for a wild animal permit on a
form furnished by the chief. Each applicant for a wild animal permit, other than an applicant desiring to rehabilitate
wild animals, shall pay an annual fee of twenty-five dollars for each permit. No fee shall be charged to an applicant desiring to rehabilitate wild animals. The chief may issue to the applicant a permit to take, possess, and transport at
any time and in a manner that is acceptable to the chief specimens of wild animals
protected by law or their nests and eggs for scientific study, school instruction,
other educational uses, or rehabilitation and under any additional rules recommended
by the wildlife council. Upon the receipt of a permit, the holder may take, possess, and transport those
wild animals in accordance with the permit. Each holder of a permit engaged in collecting or who possesses such wild animals shall
carry the permit at all times and shall exhibit it upon demand to any peace officer,
as defined in section 2935.01 of the Revised Code , or to the owner or person in lawful control of the land upon which the permit holder
is collecting or possesses the wild animals. Failure to so carry or exhibit the permit constitutes an offense under this section. Each permit holder shall keep a daily record of all specimens collected or possessed
under the permit and the disposition of the specimens and shall exhibit the daily
record to any official of the division upon demand. Each permit shall remain in effect for one year from the date of issuance unless it
is revoked sooner by the chief. All moneys received as fees for the issuance of a wild animal collecting permit shall
be transmitted to the director of natural resources to be paid into the state treasury
to the credit of the fund created by section 1533.15 of the Revised Code .
