Purpose


The purpose and effect of this rule is to address bonding requirements for the exhibition of venomous reptiles and Class I wildlife as required by statute. The proposed rule will provide the mechanisms by which an exhibitor of Class I wildlife may meet the financial responsibility guarantee in the amount of $10,000 or comply with the comprehensive general liability insurance requirement, and define the circumstances under which the bond or financial responsibility guarantee will be forfeited. Rule 68A-6.0024, F.A.C., is a new rule that should have the effect of assuring that exhibitors of Class I wildlife maintain minimal financial responsibility.
