Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: The amendments to this rule establish the
				  species of wildlife that may be held under a Class III Wildlife Breeder Permit
				  and Wildlife Exhibitors Permit, removes wolf-hybrids from the approved species
				  list for Class II wildlife breeders, and modifies the approved species list for
				  Class II wildlife breeders to include only those black bears and black
				  bear-hybrids, mountain lions and mountain lion-hybrids, and wolves legally
				  obtained under a valid Class II Wildlife Breeder Permit prior to August 30,
				  2021. The amendments also modify the list of approved species for a Class I
				  Wildlife Breeder Permit, corrects the scientific names of certain species, and
				  adds language to the General Provisions of this chapter to specify that
				  confined wildlife and holding facilities are subject to inspection by a
				  conservation agent at any reasonable time. Proposed additions to this rule also
				  establish general provisions for the chapter, to be consistent with the format
				  of other chapters.
(1) Any
				person holding wildlife in captivity in any manner shall have in his/her
				possession the prescribed permit or evidence of exemption. The commission may
				suspend, revoke, or deny a permit or privilege for cause, but not until an
				opportunity has been afforded for a hearing before the commission or its
				authorized representative. The hearings under this section shall be a contested
				case pursuant to Chapter 536, RSMo, and any person aggrieved by a final
				decision shall be entitled to judicial review as provided in Chapter 536,
				RSMo.
(2) Permits listed in this
				chapter may be obtained only upon satisfaction of all requirements imposed by
				this code, including payment of fees at the time of application.
(3) Permits listed in this chapter are
				nontransferable. No permit or permit application referenced in this chapter may
				be loaned, falsified, altered, or misrepresented in any manner.
(4) The acceptance of a permit listed in this
				chapter shall constitute an acknowledgement of the duty to comply with the
				provisions of this code.
(5) Except
				as provided in
				3 CSR
				10-9.425, permits listed in this chapter are valid
				from July 1 through June 30 of the prescribed permit year(s) listed on the
				permit.
(6) Confined wildlife held
				within the provisions of this chapter, and any facilities used to hold such
				wildlife are subject to inspection by a conservation agent at any reasonable
				time. Refusal to allow access for an inspection shall constitute sufficient
				cause for suspension or revocation of permit privileges.
(7) Confined wildlife held under permit within the
				provision of this chapter shall include only those species listed on the
				following Approved Confined Wildlife Species List.
