(a) Registration for dealing.--A resident or nonresident who does not propagate live aquatic animal species but deals in those species shall register with the department. The department may register applicants upon receipt of a written application signed by the applicant and the payment of a $50 registration fee. Registration shall expire five years after the initial date of registration and may be renewed upon payment of the fee.
(b) Records to be kept.--Registrants shall keep records of all transactions, buying and selling, and shall record the date, amount by count or weight of species of fish, source of species, registration identification and place of sale.
(c) Approval.--
(1) Distribution by dealers is limited to those species of fish approved by the department.
(2) Transportation of species of fish into this Commonwealth is limited to sources of species whose health inspection reports have already been approved by the department. Sources may be preapproved by the department for an entire calendar year. Denials shall be restricted to those sources where diseases are nonendemic to this Commonwealth and for any diseases designated by the department upon recommendation of the advisory committee.
