(2) Any person applying for a Wildlife Exhibitor Permit shall complete an application involving on-site inspections of the exhibit facilities prior to and following construction activities by a conservation agent to determine that all provisions of this rule and 3 CSR 10-9.371 are met before a permit is issued. Fee: one thousand twenty-seven dollars ($1,027).

(3) The following exemptions to the Wildlife Exhibitor Permit requirements of this chapter shall apply:
