That does bring up an interesting point as to the definition of Commercial - vs - hobbyist/breeder. This is something some are in complete disagreement, regarding a distinction between the two. Something worth fleshing out and pinning down before this rule spreads to other states, as I'm sure it will.
No doubt there is a revenue sharing quid pro quo with the federal government. Although, I believe this rule was primarily driven by the publicity generated from certain groups in regard to the cruelty and inhumanity in the exploitation of our freshwater turtles. Those turtles being allegedly shipped to Asia for the food market, to the point of extinction.
