from what i can tell, this bill further clamps down on the ROC.
as i understand it, currently keepers of ROC must have a permit, but can continue to buy and sell ROC.
this new law will not only require keepers of the ROC to obtain a permit (before july 1, 2010) to keep their animals, but will prohibit any further sales or acquisitions of new ROC.
they will also be subject to periodic inspections by the FFWS, and if they are found to be keeping any of the ROC in violation of certain caging standards, they will have 30 days to correct the violation, or their permit will be revoked.
that's just what i came up with in the last 30 mins, so don't take it as gospel truth, but it should be a decent representation of what it all means.
