Summary

Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill. Makes a technical correction. Defines "federally licensed facility". Permits a person to have a right of property in, keep, harbor, care for, act as custodian of or maintain in his or her possession any dangerous animal or primate in or by a: (1) federally licensed facility, (2) veterinary hospital, or (3) permitted hound running area and only for possession of coyotes. Provides that the exemptions listed in the dangerous animals statute do not exempt persons from having to be in compliance with the Wildlife Code or the Endangered Species Act, including, but not limited to, prohibitions on possession of any dangerous animal. Provides that it is an affirmative defense for a prosecution under the dangerous animals statute if a person had lawful possession of a feline crossbreed between a serval cat and a domesticated cat and the possessor of the animal proves that the possessor possessed the animal before the effective date of the amendatory Act. Provides that nothing in dangerous animals statute shall be construed to apply to a motion picture, television, or digital media production company employing or contracting with a dealer or exhibitor licensed under the federal Animal Welfare Act or with a carrier, intermediate handler, or unlicensed exhibitor registered under that Act for the transportation, purchase, exhibition, or use of animals in its motion picture, television or digital media production.
