Apparently the bill is not yet law. It awaits the approval of Governor Bush.
Florida vemomous keepers might want to email him and voice their opinion of this extreme increase in fees.
Unfortunatly if passed, I see this as causing more keepers in FL to do so unlicensed.
It's also suspiciously similar to anti gun laws passed in Canada. The first step was just asking all the nice sheeple to register their guns. Then after this they had a database of gun owners, so when the ban came down, they knew who could be keeping them illegally.
If current venomous permit holders refuse to renew at this unacceptable price, they stand a chance of being checked up on by the government to see if they are still keeping after the permit expires.
According to another post I have read on the subject, Gov. Bush's email address is
