Senate Bill 1140 classifies all crocodilians as prohibited species under Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act. This change directly affects anyone who might own, possess, or introduce crocodiles or alligators into the state. The bill updates the legal definitions within the existing statute to explicitly include this reptile order in the list of animals that cannot be kept or released in Michigan. By adding this specific category, the legislation aims to prevent the introduction of these large reptiles into the state's environment.
