Bill Summary

FISH AND GAME -- Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the unlawful killing, possession, or waste of wildlife.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the unlawful killing, possession, or waste of wildlife. Specifically, it changes the language around what constitutes a felony related to the unlawful killing, possession, or wasting of wildlife. Previously, a felony was charged when the combined value of the wildlife exceeded $1,000, but the bill removes the specific dollar amount and instead ties the felony charge to the "wasting of any wildlife" within a 12-month period. The bill also includes an emergency clause, meaning it would take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
