Purpose
The proposed rule change deletes provisions prohibiting the importation and release of non-native fish and wildlife without a permit; these provisions will be incorporated into proposed new Rule Chapter 68-5, F.A.C. The proposed rule change incorporates provisions currently in Rule 68A-23.008, F.A.C. regarding inspection of facilities that might harbor diseased aquatic organisms. Rule 68A-23.008, F.A.C., will be repealed effective July 1, 2007. The effect of this rule amendment will be to consolidate related regulatory provisions in the same place and allow citizens easier access to them.
