\nEndangered, Nongame, and Exotic Wildlife Exotic Species and Nongame Species Requiring a Permit for Possession; Exempted Species Proposed Amendments: N.J.A.C. 7:25-4.3 and 4.4<\/p>\n
\nTake notice that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is re-opening the comment period for the proposed amendment of the rules governing the possession of nongame and exotic species at N.J.A.C. 7:25-4.3 and 4.4 to add bison (commonly known as the American buffalo) to the list of mammals exempted from the requirement to obtain an annual possession permit from the Department.\u00a0 Bison will continue to be regulated by the Department of Agriculture pursuant to the definition of \u201ccattle\u201d in that department\u2019s rules.\u00a0 The Department is also proposing to codify prior statutory changes that classified several species of small ruminants and flightless birds as agricultural livestock.\u00a0 Specifically, the Department is proposing to delete the llama from the list of species for which a permit is required and to add the llama, alpaca, guanaco, emu, ostrich, greater rhea, and lesser rhea to the list of species exempt from Department permitting.\u00a0 A copy of the proposal is available at: https:\/\/deptest.nj.gov\/rules\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/70\/proposals\/20141117b.pdf<\/a>; and the LexisNexis free public access to the New Jersey Register, https:\/\/www.lexisnexis.com\/hottopics\/njoal\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
