Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC)

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), on May 2, 2022, unanimously approved the agency's staff members moving forward with proposed rule updates related to nonnative fish and wildlife species. 

Proposed rules include:
        • Allowing for deviations in caging and biosecurity.
        • Allowing for limited public contact during mobile exhibition.
        • Allowing for transfer of Prohibited species pets to spouses and beneficiaries.
        • Updating Eradication and Control Permit application.

Staff members will collect additional public feedback before bringing final rule language for consideration at a future Commission meeting.
