The purpose of the proposed rule is to require alligator farm permittees be at least 18 years old; require farm permittees make farm records available upon request; clarify farm fencing requirements and the minimum space requirements for alligator pens; and modify the Alligator Farm Annual Report form. The effect of the proposed rule will be to provide alligator farmers greater pen design flexibility and animal husbandry options, a better understanding of rule requirements, and improved program implementation.
