Bill Summary
This bill would grant the Division of Fish and Wildlife full authority to issue permits as is necessary and appropriate to manage the beaver resource in the State. In particular, the bill would remove the current statutory restriction, which limits to 200 the number of beaver trapping permits that may be issued by the division in any one year. The authority granted by this bill is consistent with the division's existing authority to issue as many permits as it deems appropriate in relation to the management of various other game species.
AI Summary
This bill removes a previous restriction that limited the Division of Fish and Wildlife to issuing no more than 200 permits per year for trapping or taking beavers, granting the division full authority to issue as many permits as it deems necessary to manage the beaver population in the state, similar to how it manages other game species. The bill also clarifies that the fee for a permit is $15 and that violating the section carries a fine of at least $100 and no more than $200, and it allows the division to issue permits to landowners to control beavers that are damaging their property.
