Summary

The bill bans private ownership of listed dangerous animals and most primates unless they are kept in specific approved settings such as zoos, licensed exhibits, or research labs. It allows limited exceptions for certain primates owned before 2011 and for a capuchin monkey used by a severely mobility‑impaired person, provided registration requirements are met. Violations are class‑C misdemeanors with fines that rise if the violation causes severe injury, death, or property damage.
