S. NR 10.02 (9) - Timber rattlesnake.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
The proposed rule will affect snake hunters. Currently there are no restrictions on the collecting and sale of timber rattlesnakes. The Department does not know how many people are harvesting these snakes for resale (for meat, hides for hats and boots, stuffed snakes, dried heads, rattles and jewelry or pets) but anticipates that the number of affected parties is quite low due to low timber rattlesnake numbers and the time commitment needed to collect them.
Summary of Comments by Legislative Review Committees:
The proposed rule were reviewed by the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources and the Senate Committee of Agriculture and Environmental Resources. On October 29, 1997, the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources held a public hearing. Following the public hearing, the Committee requested that the Department modify the rule. At the Committee's request, the Department added language to clarify the procedure to be used when a timber rattlesnake becomes a nuisance, but before it becomes a threat to humans or domestic animals. The word “domestic” was added before the word animals to clarify that this rule is intended to protect only domestic animals, not all animals.
