Bill > S345

Introduced Session

This bill would define the term "authorized agent" as used in P.L.2000, c.46 (C.23:4-42.3 et seq.), the law authorizing community based management plans, to provide that term may include local law enforcement officers. A community based deer management plan is a plan by which a county board of agriculture, the governing body of a county or municipality, or the owner or operator of an airport may request, from the Division of Fish and Wildlife, a special deer management permit to implement alternative deer control methods in order to manage a deer population that is causing significant property damage in that area. Under this bill, the term "authorized agent" may include, but is not limited to, upon the request of a municipal governing body, a local law enforcement officer trained or otherwise approved by the division to employ alternative deer control methods.
