Bill > H730

This bill amends existing law concerning the trapping of fur-bearing mammals by requiring any person licensed to trap these animals to adhere to the "Best Management Practices" guidelines, which are approved by the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, an organization that sets standards for wildlife management. The bill also clarifies that a trapper's license will permit the possession of equipment recommended by these guidelines, building upon existing provisions that mandate trapper training courses on the effective use of specific trap types like box, cage, and conibear traps for animals such as beaver and muskrat.
