Plain-English Summary

This bill would restrict the private ownership of primates like monkeys and apes by requiring special permits and setting strict care standards for anyone who wants to keep them as pets or in facilities. The law aims to protect both the animals from poor living conditions and the public from potential safety risks, since primates can carry diseases and become dangerous as they grow larger and stronger. It would likely affect zoos, research facilities, and private owners who currently keep primates.
