84D.08 ESCAPE OF NONNATIVE AND INVASIVE SPECIES.
(a) A person that allows or causes the introduction of an animal that is a prohibited invasive,
regulated invasive, or unlisted nonnative species shall, within 24 hours after learning of the
introduction, notify the commissioner, a conservation officer, or another person designated by
the commissioner. The person shall make every reasonable attempt to recapture or destroy the
introduced animal. If the animal is a prohibited invasive species, the person is liable for the actual
costs incurred by the department in capturing or controlling, or attempting to capture or control,
the animal and its progeny. If the animal is a regulated invasive species, the person is liable for
these costs if the introduction was in violation of the person's permit issued under section 84D.11.
(b) A person that complies with this section is not subject to criminal penalties under section
84D.13 for the introduction.
