General summary:
14 1 EXPLANATION
14 2 This bill creates new Code chapter 717F, which regulates
14 3 the possession of dangerous wild animals which are defined to
14 4 include wolves, coyotes, jackals, hyenas, lions, tigers,
14 5 cougars, leopards, cheetahs, ocelots, servals, bears, pandas,
14 6 rhinoceroses, elephants, primates other than humans,
14 7 alligators, crocodiles, water monitors, venomous snakes, and
14 8 certain constrictors (pythons and anacondas).
14 9 The department of agriculture and land stewardship is
14 10 charged to administer the bill's provisions, although the
14 11 department may execute Code chapter 28E agreements with other
14 12 government entities. The bill prohibits a person from owning
14 13 or possessing a dangerous wild animal, with certain
14 14 exceptions. It prohibits a person from breeding or
14 15 transporting a dangerous wild animal into this state.
14 16 The bill specifically allows a person to possess a
14 17 dangerous wild animal if the person has possession of the
14 18 dangerous wild animal on the effective date of the bill, but
14 19 subject to certain conditions. The person cannot have been
14 20 convicted of an offense relating to animal welfare and cannot
14 21 have recently been convicted of an offense relating to a
14 22 controlled substance or a felony. The person must attach or
14 23 install an electronic identification device to the dangerous
14 24 wild animal or beneath its skin or hide. The person must also
14 25 register the dangerous wild animal with the department. The
14 26 bill requires the person to pay a registration fee which is
14 27 deposited into a special fund controlled by the department.
14 28 The bill also provides that the person must confine the
14 29 dangerous wild animal according to a number of specifications
14 30 designed to secure it from the public. The person must
14 31 maintain liability insurance. The person is strictly liable
14 32 for damages or injuries resulting from the actions of the
14 33 dangerous wild animal.
