Special Purpose Permits

(1) Special Purpose raptor permits issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shall be honored by the Agency, and a copy of such shall be provided to the Agency upon receipt. However, the scope of such permits shall be provided to the Agency, and the scope shall not violate Tennessee law. (2) If the scope of the Special Purpose raptor permit should fall under the Temporary Exhibitor or Permanent Exhibitor permit as defined by T.C.A. § 70-4-402, for Class II species, then such permit shall be required. However, and notwithstanding any rule to the contrary, a Tennessee commercial propagator permit shall not be required in addition to a permanent exhibitor permit.
