Bill > A08661

This bill extends the expiration date for a specific provision in the environmental conservation law related to youth pheasant hunting days on Long Island. Specifically, the bill changes the sunset (expiration) date for paragraph c-1 of section 11-0903 of the environmental conservation law from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2028. This means that the Department of Environmental Conservation will continue to have the authority to set open season and bag limits for pheasant hunting on Long Island for junior license holders (typically young hunters) for an additional three years beyond the previously established expiration date. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, which allows for a seamless continuation of the existing hunting regulations for young hunters in the Long Island area.
