The purpose of these proposed rule amendments is to address the possession and housing of captive wildlife, venomous reptiles and reptiles of concern. The proposed rule amendments should have the effect of clarifying the rules and eliminating inconsistencies between rules and statutes resulting from the passage of Chapter 2007-239, Laws of Florida, during the 2007 legislative session. The proposed rule amendments will also add reporting requirements in the instance of the escape of Class I wildlife. Rules 68A-6.003, 68A-6.007, 68A-6.0071 and 68A-6.0072, adopted on April 6, 2007, are effective January 1, 2008. These proposed rule amendments are designed to amend the rules as soon as possible after that date.
