Conservation and Natural Resources Department, regulation of public exhibition of wildlife, additional fee authorized, exemptions revised, Secs. 9-11-324, 9-11-328 am'd.

Description

Under existing law, the Commissioner of Conservation and Natural Resources may issue an annual permit to a person at a cost of $25 authorizing the person to possess wildlife for public exhibition purposes.

This bill would allow the commissioner to also establish reasonable and necessary fees in amounts sufficient to cover the costs of administering and enforcing the wildlife public exhibition regulations.

This bill would also delete the provision that the wildlife public exhibition regulations do not apply to privately owned traveling zoos and would provide that the regulations do not apply to four-year universities, provided that the guidelines of the institutions' Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee are followed.
