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, which will make training more accessible, and 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 training and liability, ensuring that individuals caring for wildlife are knowledgeable and responsible. 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 Louisiana.
