Proposed Law Limits Frag Swaps?

Did anyone post this already? I'm behind on reading the forum.

Looks like this law would prohibit frag swaps. Perhaps we should organize and let our lawmakers know about the positive impact that frag swaps have?
 
I'm surprised they don't strictly define what "live animal" is, as it stands most people probably still think corals are a type of plant. Seems like a good bill in general, probably put it to restrict the "aggressive dog" trade, but very general and vague.
 
My reading of it would be that it wouldn't limit BAR frag swaps. Ours are indoor and not commercial. Most other frag swaps have selling and are outdoors. Granted if it passes we might want to lose the word swap and perhaps go with exchange.
 
One thing that coudl trip that up is the "buy in". That will have to go, if it hasn't all ready.
