The changes to Rules 68A-6.0024 and 68A-6.0025, F.A.C., are necessary to implement new statutory requirements. The 2010 Legislature passed Senate Bill 318 and House Bill 572, requiring, among other things, persons possessing Class I wildlife to “guarantee financial responsibility” in the sum of $10,000, or a $2 million insurance policy, for any liability incurred. The new law became effective July 1, 2010. Before the legislative amendment only those entities exhibiting Class I wildlife to the public had to provide the financial responsibility guarantee. Those affected by the amendment include entities possessing Class I wildlife for other than exhibition purposes, sanctuaries or those possessing retired performing wildlife. The changes to Rule 68A-6.003, F.A.C., are necessary to address the structural (strength) requirement of materials used for facilities housing certain Class III wildlife that were up-listed to Class I or II. Examples of such wildlife include: Gaur, aardwolves, giraffe, okapi, tapir, saki monkeys, wild cattle, forest, woodland and arid land antelope and similar species of non-native hoof stock (Family Bovidae).
