The resolution proposes amendments to the Louisiana Administrative Code (LAC) regarding the Wildlife Rehabilitation Program, specifically targeting the permit process for wildlife rehabilitators. It aims to alleviate the burdensome requirements that currently hinder individuals from obtaining a wildlife rehabilitation permit, addressing the shortage of licensed rehabilitators in Louisiana. The resolution includes provisions for the establishment of an online Wildlife Rehabilitation Permit Basic Skills Course, which will make it more accessible for potential rehabilitators to gain the necessary knowledge and skills required for permitting.

Additionally, the resolution introduces new regulations for individuals classified as "wildlife rescuers," allowing them to temporarily care for certain sick, injured, or orphaned wildlife for up to ninety days, with specific conditions for extending that period. It outlines the responsibilities and liabilities of wildlife rescuers, including the requirement for veterinary assessment and the prohibition of using wildlife for commercial purposes. The resolution directs the office of the state register to incorporate these amendments into the Louisiana Administrative Code, thereby streamlining the process for wildlife rehabilitation and enhancing the care of injured or orphaned wildlife in the state.
