The commission may adopt regulations permitting a sale pursuant to
Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 3046) of Title 14 of Part 4 of
Division 3 of the Civil Code, and may adopt any other regulations
governing the sale including, but not limited to, regulations which

skin, which list species of fish, reptiles, birds, or mammals whose
prepared skins may not be sold, and which limit the sales price of
prepared skins to the actual cost of preparation.
The commission may adopt regulations permitting a sale of a
prepared skin pursuant to this subdivision only if the commission
