08.pdf (scroll to G 137.1

WIll make it ILLEGAL to own or sell Nanday Conures in
Pennsylvania! Please write and tell them NO WAY!

It reads:
G. Amend 58 Pa. Code, §137.1.
Commentary: Currently, §137.1 requires a person importing
lawfully acquired wildlife,
or parts thereof, for menagerie, educational or scientific
purposes to
obtain an importation permit, but does not require an
importation permit
for exotic wildlife dealer or exotic wildlife possession
permit holders. In
an effort to create consistency in the regulations and
increase the
Commission’s capabilities to address wildlife
epidemiological concerns,
the Commission is proposing to amend §137.1 (relating to
importation,
sale and release of certain wildlife) to specifically
require propagation,
exotic wildlife dealer and exotic wildlife possession
permit holders to
acquire an importation permit prior to importing any
wildlife into this
Commonwealth. The Commission is also proposing to amend
§137.1 to
prohibit the importation, possession, sale and release of
all non-human
primates and the Conure-Nanday, sometimes referred to as
the Blackhooded
Parakeet, in response to human health/safety and wildlife
habitat
health purposes.
