Bob- there is some archaic language in this bill that would be changed in appling it to other states. It was originally written in the 1930's to prohibit snake handling in church. Read closely... the qualifying phrase is "in an unsafe manner" "Safe and responsible handling of reptiles for purposes of animal husbandry, training, transport, and education is permitted". the bottom line is this... very little will change for most responsible keepers. The only problem will arise if gross negligence leads to lifethreatening injury or death of a member of the public.
