Summary
The proposal for Rule 68-5.001(4), F.A.C., would allow for Commission staff to accept, review, and permit requested deviations to caging, enclosures, or caging materials required by Chapter 68-5, F.A.C., that prevent escape of captive nonnative species. The proposal for Rule 68-5.007(5)(a)3., F.A.C., would allow for a spouse or beneficiary to apply for a Prohibited species for personal use permit within 90 days of transfer following the death or disablement of a valid permit holder. The proposal for 68-5.007(7)(b), F.A.C., would allow for limited public contact of Prohibited captive terrestrial species when a permitted entity is conducting mobile exhibition, providing the handler maintains control, possession, and supervision of the animal while free-handling. The proposal for the incorporated form referenced in 68-5.007(3)(a), F.A.C., would update the application for Eradication and Control of Prohibited Species permits to reflect items required by rule.
