Existing law generally makes it unlawful to sell, purchase, harm, take, possess, transport, or shoot a projectile at, a tortoise of the genus Gopherus. Existing law, however, does not prohibit the possession of a tortoise of the genus Gopherus if the owner can demonstrate that the tortoise was legally acquired and possessed before the effective date of this provision.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
