After reading it, I agree with Joe, it doesn't appear to have any effect on reptile keepers or breeders. Specifically it says:
Quote:
The proposed amendments prohibit persons licensed by the Department from accepting
animals imported into the state unless the animals are accompanied by both a health certificate and an “entry
permit number” assigned by the Department.
Also as to the rabies for reptiles issue, it further states:
Quote:
[Health certificates must state] ...that animals have been
vaccinated against rabies as required by the Illinois Animal Control Act.
I doubt the IL Animal Control Act requires that reptiles be vaccinated against rabies.
