I was involved with NRIP drafts several years ago. The primary reason this was written was as a response to the issues with Amblyomma ticks and Cowdria.



What specifically are your concerns with NRIP? I don't think it's a perfect document, and it's been over a year since I reviewed it, but I don't recall much that would be a hurdle to hobbyists. The biggest problem I can recall from the conference calls had to do with requiring a consulting veterinarian. There was never anything resembling a white list (or a black list for that matter), and the only issues involving invasive exotics included some language about caging, disaster planning, and employee and customer education.



I can't speak to the issues regarding shows, that may be a valid concern.



I can't imagine this document would be adopted as is, so if this is a template for legislation there would be an opportunity comment on the parts of it that are problematic.



I believe the full document is available on the PIJAC website for people to review. I'll reread it myself before commenting further.
