HB 854 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

WILDLIFE & FISHERIES: Provides for exemption to wildlife rehabilitation program rules

HB 854 amends existing rules for the state wildlife rehabilitation program by extending a specific time limit from one day to two days and requiring that a notice be included in a particular process. These changes adjust procedural requirements for individuals or organizations working with injured wildlife to ensure they have adequate time and proper documentation. The bill does not create new programs or alter funding but instead refines how current regulations are applied to rehabilitation efforts.
