To Whom It May Concern:

Regulation changes effecting captive wildlife possessors were made to Florida Statutes (F.S.) and the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) during 2007. A synopsis of these changes may be viewed at www.myfwc.com/permits, by clicking on “Read More Information” at the end of the first paragraph.

In 2007, Senate Bill 2766 was introduced and passed. This bill led to statutory changes concerning venomous reptiles, certain species now deemed reptiles of concern and the exhibition of Class I wildlife. Enhanced penalties for captive wildlife violations were also included.

Below are the changes and a link to the web site where these statutes may be viewed in their entirety.

Current/Changed Statutes: Repealed Statutes:
 
372.86, F.S.

372.87, F.S.

372.935, F.S., with enhanced penalties.

  372.89, F.S.

These statutes may be viewed at the following web address: http://www.leg.state.fl.us . Once at this site click on “Florida Statutes,” then click on “Title XXVIII Natural Resources; Conservation, Reclamation, and Use.” Scroll down and select individual statutes.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission also passed several rules effecting captive wildlife in 2007. These rules are found in the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.).
