Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to the Game Law; to amend section 37-456, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, and section 37-455, Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025; to provide for the issuance of limited mountain lion permits; and to repeal the original sections.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing state law to allow for the issuance of limited permits to hunt mountain lions, similar to how permits are already issued for deer, antelope, wild turkey, and elk. Specifically, it adds mountain lions to the list of animals for which qualifying landowners or their immediate family members can apply for a limited hunting permit, with specific acreage requirements for both resident and non-resident landowners. These permits will be valid within designated mountain lion management zones, and the number of limited mountain lion permits issued in any management unit will be capped at seventy-five percent of the total regular permits authorized for that unit. The bill also repeals the original sections of law that are being amended.
