Bill > AB724

This bill makes a minor technical amendment to California's Fish and Game Code regarding trapping licenses by updating gender-specific language. Specifically, the bill replaces the phrase "he or she" with the gender-neutral term "the person" when describing nonresident trapping license requirements. The existing law requires residents and nonresidents to obtain a trapping license from the Department of Fish and Wildlife, with different base fees depending on age and residency status: residents over 16 pay $45, residents under 16 pay $15, and nonresidents pay $225, with these fees subject to adjustment under Section 713. The bill maintains the existing fee structure and conditions for obtaining a trapping license, including the provision that a nonresident cannot receive a license if their home state does not offer a similar license to California residents. The modification is considered a nonsubstantive change, meaning it does not alter the fundamental meaning or application of the law but updates the language to be more inclusive and contemporary.
