Species of wild animals with similar values may be grouped together.
(b) The value of a wild animal under the rules adopted by the commissioner is prima facie
evidence of a wild animal's value under section 97A.341.
(c) The commissioner shall report annually to the legislature the amount of restitution
collected under section 97A.341 and the manner in which the funds were expended.
