Bill Summary
Feral Swine; criminal penalty deleted for transporting swine; conservation department prohibited from restricting transport
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to remove the criminal penalty for transporting live feral swine and prohibits the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources from restricting such transportation. Previously, releasing live feral swine was a Class B misdemeanor with a mandatory minimum fine of $2,500, and the transportation of these animals was implicitly covered under rules that could lead to penalties. This change means that transporting live feral swine will no longer be a criminal offense, and the conservation department cannot create rules to prevent it, though releasing them may still carry penalties.
