Bill > A08597

This bill extends the provisions of a previous law (Chapter 230 of the Laws of 2023) relating to big game hunting authorization in Onondaga County by modifying the expiration date from October 1, 2025, to October 1, 2027. Specifically, the bill amends a single section of the existing law to push back the date when the hunting authorization provisions will expire and be considered repealed. The modification appears to be a straightforward administrative extension of hunting authorization, giving hunters in Onondaga County two additional years under the current legal framework. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, which is typical for legislative extensions of this nature, and suggests that the local community or hunting stakeholders in Onondaga County have requested or supported continued authorization of the existing big game hunting regulations.
