Bill > A00594

This bill amends the Environmental Conservation Law to protect wildlife and maintain public safety. Key provisions include requiring nuisance wildlife control operators to use humane, non-lethal methods whenever possible, provide written notification to clients detailing the problem and control measures, and keep records of complaints received. The bill also authorizes the Department of Environmental Conservation to promulgate rules and regulations to implement these new requirements. The bill will take effect one year after it becomes law, with the necessary rules and regulations authorized to be completed by that time.
