Bill > A04046

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 specific section of law related to license revocation and suspension. Under the revised language, violations involving the revocation and suspension of hunting, trapping, or fishing licenses will be classified as misdemeanors. Individuals found guilty of such a misdemeanor can be punished by up to 90 days in imprisonment, a fine between $500 and $1,000, or both. The change appears to streamline and clarify the existing legal language regarding license-related infractions, ensuring consistent and clear penalties for those who hunt, trap, or fish without a valid license. The bill will take effect immediately upon enactment.
