NOTE: I am not a legal professional so take my words with a grain of salt!

Here's the actual text of the proposed bill: http://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2020/906/BillText/Filed/PDF

I didn't see anything that would grandfather tegus that were owned prior to this bill unless the owner had a permit for the tegu(s) already issued in 2010. In any event, a license/permit is required to be able to keep tegus as pets from July 1, 2020 (this bill was passed, correct? The version I linked to was before it passed).

They also mention the ability of the commission to inspect if the tegu is "securely, safely, and properly penned."

I hope you folks in Florida can get some clarification on this bill.... and what you need to do to keep your pets.
