Chapter:

RULES RELATING TO NON-NATIVE SPECIES

Overview

RULE:

68-5.001	Purpose and Intent
68-5.002	Definitions
68-5.003	Introduction of Non-Native Species into the State

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this proposed new rule chapter is to consolidate regulatory provisions relating to non-native species currently existing in different rule chapters in Title 68A into a new chapter within Title 68 of the Florida Administrative Code. In addition, the proposed rule adds species previously referenced only in statute, and substitutes the term “conditional” for the term “restricted” to refer to non-native with special requirements. The proposed new rules will list two additional species and add conditions for the possession of a previously restricted genus of freshwater fishes. The effect of this new rule title will be to consolidate related regulatory provisions in the same place and allow citizens easier access to them.

SUBJECT:

Regulatory restrictions on the introduction, possession and take of non-native species.
