Venomous Reptiles and Pythons - FAA Priority Issue Passes First Committee Stop

Another of our priority bills relates to reptiles – prohibiting the sale and possession of pythons and venomous reptiles. The bill exempts established facilities with permits from the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. We support the bill with the exemption allowing our members to continue to exhibit these animals.

Today HB 709 (T. Williams), our captive reptiles bill, passed House Policy Council on a 17-0 vote.
