So here is the deal. As of now, all you need is is to have a health certificate issued by a vet. Then you need to call the state to get a permit number. Now if this new law passes in September, it will go in to effect on 1/2014. Then it gets tricky. You have to pay a 500.00 a year fee, you have to carry 250k in Insurance and you will need to prove that you have 2 years of experience with the animal.
