provided by the Department or in a format which is substantially similar to
that form, for each licensing year which show:
(a) The name, telephone number and physical
and mailing address of each person from whom wildlife or parts, nests or eggs
of wildlife, upon which taxidermic services were performed, were
received.
(b) The name, telephone
number and physical and mailing address of each person to whom wildlife or
parts, nests or eggs of wildlife, upon which taxidermic services were

performance of taxidermic services on the item. The tag must be reattached to
the item when the taxidermic service is not being performed. Once the
taxidermic services are completed on the taxidermic item, the tag must be
reattached and remain attached to the item until the item is delivered to or
claimed by the owner of the item.
(b) Submit a copy of the taxidermist's
records for the previous licensing year to the Department on the earlier of the

or June 30. If the records are computerized, the taxidermist shall submit a
hard copy of the computerized records to the Department.

licensing year for at least 2 years after the end of the licensing year to

authorized to enforce the provisions of title 45 of NRS, present the
taxidermist's records kept in accordance with this section and any taxidermic
item which the taxidermist is keeping at his or her place of
business.
3. In lieu of
maintaining a record of a tag, seal or permit pursuant to paragraph (d) of

taxidermist may maintain a record setting forth the name and physical and
mailing address of the taxidermist from whom the taxidermic item was received
and the punch number or other identification number assigned to that
taxidermist by the taxidermist who received the taxidermic item. The punch
number or other identification number must be attached to the taxidermic item
during the entire period in which the taxidermist who received the taxidermic
item remains in possession of the taxidermic item.
