§ 2085 Candidate Species Protections
This law says that the rules in this article work for any animal or plant that has been called a "candidate species" under Section 2074.2, but only after a formal notice has been sent as required by Section 2074.4.
A rare river turtle is listed as a candidate species under Section 2074.2. The wildlife agency sends a notice about this listing according to Section 2074.4.
Because the notice was given, the protections and rules in this article now apply to the river turtle.
