Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to the Game and Parks Commission; to amend section 37-314, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska; to provide a duty to the commission; and to repeal the original section.
AI Summary
This bill amends Nebraska law to change the authority of the Game and Parks Commission regarding hunting, fur-harvesting, and fishing regulations. Specifically, it changes the word "may" to "shall" in relation to the commission's duty to establish rules and regulations for hunting, fur-harvesting, or fishing gear. This means the commission will now be required, rather than just permitted, to set these rules, which govern the methods and types of equipment used for taking game, fish, and other wildlife, ensuring these regulations are based on reliable data and investigations. The bill also repeals the original section of law that it amends.
