SUMMARY OF REGULATORY ACTIONS

File# 2012-0720-02

FISH AND GAME COMMISSION

Permits and Inspection of Restricted Species

This rulemaking amends Title 14, section 671.1 and adopts Title 14, section 671.8 of the California Code of Regulations ("CCR"). Existing regulations specify the conditions under which an individual or entity can lawfully possess restricted species in California. The regulatory changes are needed to comport with Fish and Game Code sections 2116-2195, which require the implementation of a comprehensive, self-supporting program for inspection and monitoring of restricted species facilities in California. In addition, recent events involving captive restricted species (a human fatality incident and separate escaped animal incidents) demonstrated the need for reconsideration, modification, and addition to the existing regulations to address issues such as escape contingency planning, public safety, and inspection.
