Ohio HB947 regulates the possession, raising, propagation, and sale of certain animals for commercial purposes.

Ohio HB947 amends the Revised Code to establish rules for possessing, raising, propagating, and selling certain animals for commercial purposes. It defines "covered animals" as fur-bearing animals, rabbits primarily for fur, and wolf hybrids. The bill mandates recordkeeping, facility requirements, and compliance with rules adopted by the chief of the Division of Wildlife. Violations can result in misdemeanor or felony charges, fines, and restitution. The chief can seize animals and issue citations for violations, and the attorney general can bring injunctions against violators.
