The resolution proposes amendments to the Louisiana Administrative Code 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 the state. Key changes include the introduction of an online Wildlife Rehabilitation Permit Basic Skills Course to make training more accessible, as well as the establishment of a new category for "Wildlife Rescuers," allowing individuals to temporarily care for certain sick, injured, or orphaned wildlife under specific conditions.

Additionally, the resolution outlines the requirements for obtaining and maintaining a wildlife rehabilitation permit, including proof of course completion and habitat specifications for housed animals. It emphasizes the importance of ensuring that wildlife is rehabilitated and released back into appropriate habitats while also holding individuals accountable for any damages caused by the animals they care for. 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 in the state.
