Gov. John Kasich today signed an executive order allowing the Ohio Department of Agriculture to establish on an emergency basis rules regarding standards for care, control and security of exotic animals that are on a restricted species list under a new state law.

The rules must, by law, be in place by Dec. 4. A special exotic animals board is hammering out details for exotic animals and snakes covered by the law which took effect in September. However, Kasich issued the order to allow the department to move ahead with the rules on an emergency basis.
