Specifically, it adds the use of a drone to interfere with the lawful taking of wildlife or aquatic life as a violation under Section 48-3 of the Criminal Code of 2012, and clarifies that penalties for violations of Section 48-3 will be as provided in that Section. The bill also makes technical changes to these codes, ensuring that penalties and consequences for interference with hunting or fishing activities are consistently applied across these laws.
