I suspect that the "licensed turtle farms" are/will be required to submit periodic inventory balance sheets and journals to Florida Fish and Wildlife.

The hobbyist will probably be held to the new single daily take/possession rule. They will probably have to get some sort of license to trade, as in "Hobbyist Grade Permit". Collections could be grandfathered in. Don't know what has been done as far as these details go.

Just guessing the intent of this law is primarily focused on exporting (out of Florida) facilities/entities.

Just my thoughts on the matter. Don't live in Florida and have no firsthand knowledge of the process. Just what I see in the press.
