Section 13 of the Animal Welfare Act ( 7 U.S.C. 2143 ) is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection: No exhibitor may allow for the participation of an exotic or wild animal (including a non-human primate) in an animal act if, during the 15-day period preceding such participation, such animal was traveling in a mobile housing facility. The restriction under paragraph
(1)shall not apply to the use of an exotic or wild animal (including a non-human primate)— in an exhibition at a non-mobile, permanent institution or facility, including an accredited zoo or aquarium; as part of an outreach program for educational or conservation purposes by an accredited zoo or aquarium, if the animal used for such purposes is not kept in a mobile housing facility for more than 12 hours a day; by a university, college, laboratory, or other research facility registered with the Secretary pursuant to section 6; in film, television, or advertising if such use does not involve a live public exhibition; or in a rodeo. A traveling circus or exhibitor that fails to comply with this subsection shall be subject to the penalties provided for under section 19. .
