Bill > SB39

This bill makes several changes to Kentucky's fish and wildlife laws, primarily by exempting bona fide private landowners from certain fishing restrictions, allowing them to extend fishing privileges on their private lakes or ponds to others with written or electronic permission, and permitting the stocking of specific types of largemouth bass without restriction, except for prohibitions against invasive fish. It also clarifies rules regarding the taking of beavers and bobcats at night, modifies qualifications for members of the Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources Commission and the commissioner, and restricts the promulgation of regulations concerning wakeboats and wakesports. The bill also declares an emergency to ensure these changes, particularly those affecting commission qualifications and invasive species, take effect immediately.
