This bill grandfathers in the existing 4 preserves [b]as they are. They will be hiding behind the much more stringent and costly rules of this amended bill. With the likelihood of SB404 being passed there has been an inside job attaching language that in essence is no different than the bill that Rodney Bruce proposed last year. This inside job has done no more than to ensure an unfair business advantage for those under the grandfather umbrella and would completely deter those that would want to put in a new preserve. This was facilitated by using opposition of hunting preserves to gain competitive advantage over any new preserves. Therefore, the grandfathering of the existing preserves should be struck from this bill and they should be made to comply with any new guidelines set forth in this bill. [/b]
