Bill > A06891

This bill amends the Environmental Conservation Law to authorize the Department of Environmental Conservation to regulate the use of live restraint cable devices to take wildlife, such as coyotes, in New York. The regulations must specify the required components of the devices, including a swivel, relaxing lock, deer stop, and break-away device, and require that the devices be checked at least once every 24 hours. The bill also requires trappers using these live cable restraint devices to complete a training course offered by the Department. The provisions of the bill will expire and be deemed repealed on February 16, 2026.
