Bill > HB2159

This bill, by adding Section 17-321 to Arizona Revised Statutes, allows the Arizona Game and Fish Department to issue permits to landowners for the taking of Mexican wolves on their private land, as well as on public lands and state trust lands leased to them for grazing, provided the landowner also owns private land in the state. The department can also create a voluntary program offering compensation for the humane, non-lethal trapping of Mexican wolves that would otherwise be taken under these permits. Crucially, a permit will only be issued if the Arizona Game and Fish Commission determines it's necessary to reduce conflicts between Mexican wolves and humans or property, and to provide hunting opportunities that align with the department's rules.
