To bring readers up to date- the study committee convened Friday and
after all points were brought forward the following laws was accomplished
in the state of Maine:
 
A person, firm, corporation or other business entity may not ship or
bring into the State or offer for sale or resale in the State any ferret
that is less than 8 weeks of age AS DETERMINED BY THE ERUPTION OF ADULT
CANINE DENTITION.
 
Kudos to Dr. Sandra Kudrak who spent many hours away from her practice
and was the driving force of this bill.  Many ferrets will be healthier
and many consumers will be happier with the increased age of sale in
Maine!
