Summary
The bill updates the Ginseng Harvesting Act by adding new definitions and stricter rules for harvest, grower, and dealer licenses. It requires anyone with a license to show it to law enforcement on request and lets the Department seize equipment used in illegal ginseng activities. Violators can have their licenses revoked or suspended for up to five years, and seized property is sold with proceeds going to the Wildlife and Fish Fund.
