    A minnow dealer license allows for the taking, possessing, buying, and selling of minnows from public waters that can be legally accessed. Leeches are considered and defined as minnows. A minnow dealer can sell minnows at one retail outlet under their minnow dealer license, but must obtain a  minnow retailer license for each additional retail outlet where minnows are sold at retail. An aquatic farm or private fish hatchery licensee that purchases a minnow dealer endorsement and chooses to sell minnows at retail must list the address of one minnow retail outlet on their license. 

    Vehicles used to transport more than 12 dozen minnows must be licensed as  minnow dealer vehicles

    An Exporting Minnow Dealer License is required to export minnows out of the state.
