Rules Requiring Action
Final Rule – Invasive Reptiles. Nonnative species of fish and wildlife can cause significant ecological and economic harm in Florida. During the July 2020 Commission meeting, the Commission directed staff to move forward with soliciting input on draft rules regarding the possession and commercial sale of 16 of the highest risk nonnative reptiles. Staff received feedback through public comment, public workshops and focus groups, and has incorporated revisions to the rule change proposal based on stakeholder concerns, where appropriate. Staff will provide revised rule language and request approval to publish a Notice of Change for the final rule relating to possession and commercial sale; no changes will be made to the updates to the Pet Amnesty rule presented in July. Public comment on this agenda item will be limited to no more than 2 hours. Summary Memo | 68-5.002 | 68-5.004 | 68-5.005 | 68-5.006 | 68-5.007 | 68-5.008 |
