There is frustration when trying to find FZZ info because the lists do not appear to be online any longer and because changes were not documented, but part of the situation seems to be that in some other places besides CA and HI there may well be a drift away from prosecuting even when laws still are on the books. This may sound strange, but since general animal shelters have to be aware of local laws maybe checking with those and local branches of the ASPCA in any locations you are considering may be useful. I think that prosecution for ones in numerous small FZZs are just so rare that people do not know. In some cases I think that rather than be overturned the bans will just become forgotten laws till they finally come off the books amid much laughter in some late date clean-up like many early auto laws. SLC might have overturned its ban or may not consider ferrets farm animals any longer (which was the basis of the ban there) or may just be ignoring it from what people have said to me recently. If what a few have said to me is accurate in general then NYC and DC still ban but if people are not overt it seems to be largely ignored. One of the twin cities, I think St. Cloud, might have dumped the ban or mostly be ignoring it from what others have mentioned in recent years. OBVIOUSLY, situations where there could be a ban in place might pose a risk if people are not low key. Ever since the CDC work on how rabies behaves in ferrets and the National Association of State Public Health Veterinarians including ferrets in the same category as dogs and cats in the Compendium http://www.nasphv.org/Documents/RabiesCompendium.pdf a large number of towns and cities which had banned ferrets removed the bans and others began ignoring the bans far more because vaccination is more respected in those locations after the data better defined the risk of a ferret transmitting rabies (which is theoretical) once the behavior of multiple strains of the virus in ferrets was known. For a recent bit of info on some rabies exposures to people from other unvaccinated pets (and other sources): http://www.promedmail.org/direct.php?id=20130713.1823348 I do not know of any FZZ list that does not predate those Compendium changes, so what you could do is to maybe find one of those lists (Good Luck!) -- which at this point might mean asking if anyone has one in their personal files -- and then try for updates with people specifically in those locations in your questions.
