FISH AND GAME CODESECTION 395-398
395. (a) The commission may adopt regulations for the possession or training, and the capture, importation, exportation, or intrastate transfer, of any bird in the orders Falconiformes and Strigiformes (birds-of-prey) used in the practice of falconry and may authorize the issuance and provide for the revocation of licenses and permits to persons for the practice of falconry. (b) It is unlawful to capture, possess, or train any bird in the orders Falconiformes and Strigiformes (birds-of-prey) in the practice of falconry without procuring a falconry license. 396. (a) The falconry license shall be valid for a license year beginning on March 1 and ending on the last day of February of the next succeeding calendar year. If issued after March 1 of any year, a falconry license is valid for the remainder of that license year. (b) The fee for a falconry license shall be as follows: (1) For the license year beginning March 1, 1986, the fee is thirty dollars ($30). (2) For the license years beginning on or after March 1, 1987, the fee is a base fee of thirty dollars ($30) as adjusted under Section 713. (c) Upon the filing of an affidavit showing the loss or destruction of an unexpired falconry license and the payment of a fee of eight dollars ($8), a replacement license may be issued for the remainder of the license period. 397. (a) A fee shall be collected for each permit issued for the importation, exportation, or intrastate transfer of a bird-of-prey. (b) The fee for the permit shall be as follows: (1) For the period March 1, 1986, through February 28, 1988, the fee is ten dollars ($10). (2) On and after March 1, 1988, the fee is a base fee of ten dollars ($10) as adjusted under Section 713. (c) The Legislature finds that the timeliness of the issuance of permits is important to the proper practice of falconry and can affect the training, breeding, and well-being of birds-of-prey. Accordingly, applications for permits shall be processed in the order received. In addition, no fee shall be imposed with respect to any permit issued more than 10 working days after receipt of a complete and properly filled in application that satisfies all requirements of applicable statutes and regulations, and any fee previously collected shall be promptly refunded. The person submitting an application for a permit that is incomplete, improperly filled in, or does not satisfy a requirement of an applicable statute or regulation shall be notified of the deficiency within 15 working days of receipt of the application. 398. The base year for determining the inflationary index applied to the fee established by Section 396 shall be the 1984-85 fiscal year, and the base year for determining the inflationary index to be applied to the fee established by Section 397 shall be the 1985-86 fiscal year.
