The permit would require a $150 annual fee per animal.
In addition to a list of mammals that includes large cats, raccoons, opossums and primates, the legislation defines all species listed as threatened or endangered under the Federal Endangered Species Act as exotic animals, as well as any species so declared by the state’s Department of Natural Resources “if the confinement of the animal within the state can be shown to constitute a threat to public health and safety.”
