Bill > S01516

This bill makes technical corrections to the environmental conservation law by modifying the penalties for hunting, trapping, or fishing without a valid license. Specifically, the bill amends subdivision 14 of section 71-0921 to clarify the misdemeanor provisions related to license revocation and suspension. Under this amendment, violations of section 11-0719, which involves the revocation and suspension of hunting, trapping, or fishing licenses, will be classified as misdemeanors. Offenders can be punished by up to 90 days in jail, a fine ranging from $500 to $1,000, or both. The change appears to streamline and clarify the existing legal language about license-related infractions, ensuring that individuals who hunt, trap, or fish without a valid license can face consistent and clear legal consequences. The bill will take effect immediately upon enactment.
