Section 45-10 - Types of Permits

There shall be two (2) types of wildlife rehabilitation permits. The Department may issue a Provisional Wildlife Rehabilitation Permit or a Wildlife Rehabilitation Permit to a person in accordance with this section.

(a) Provisional Wildlife Rehabilitation Permit. In order to qualify, an applicant shall meet the requirements in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (h), (j), and (1) of Section 7 of this regulation. A person shall only be allowed to apply for and receive a Provisional Wildlife Rehabilitation Permit for a maximum of two (2) consecutive calendar years. If after that time the person cannot qualify for a Wildlife Rehabilitation Permit, the person shall not be granted a Provisional Wildlife Rehabilitation Permit and shall be required to dispose of all wildlife held under this regulation in compliance with the provisions of Section 17 of this regulation. This permit:

  • (i) Authorizes the permittee to receive, rehabilitate, transfer and release all wildlife listed on the permit under the conditions specified on the permit;
  • (ii) Requires the applicant to be sponsored by a wildlife rehabilitator(s) permitted for the same wildlife;
  • (iii) Requires the permittee to consult with the permittee's sponsor immediately after receiving any wildlife. If the sponsor is not available, the permitted provisional wildlife rehabilitator shall consult with a permitted wildlife rehabilitator or DVM within twenty-four (24) hours;
  • (iv) Requires the permittee to immediately return any wildlife to the sponsor upon request by the Department or the sponsor; and,
  • (v) Requires that if at anytime a provisional wildlife rehabilitator loses sponsorship, all wildlife shall be transferred to the sponsor or another wildlife rehabilitator permitted for such wildlife within forty-eight (48) hours. If the provisional wildlife rehabilitator has not obtained another sponsor within thirty (30) days, the permit shall expire. Any time sponsorship is revoked, the sponsor shall verbally notify the Department within forty-eight (48) hours and in writing within five (5) days.

(b) Wildlife Rehabilitator. In order to qualify for this permit an applicant shall meet all requirements in Section 7 of this regulation. Persons who hold permits for wildlife rehabilitation in the state the date this regulation is passed by the Commission are grandfathered and are not required to meet the requirements of subsection (g), (i) and (k) of Section 7. This permit:

  • (i) Authorizes the permittee to receive, rehabilitate, transfer and release all wildlife listed on the permit under the conditions specified on the permit.

(c) A person shall possess a Provisional Wildlife Rehabilitation Permit prior to making application for and being considered by the Department for a Wildlife Rehabilitation Permit unless the person meets all qualifications for a Wildlife Rehabilitation Permit in Section 7 at the time of application.
