Bill > S2069

This bill aims to enhance the enforcement of illegal hunting practices by establishing clearer penalties and procedures. It revises existing laws to specify fines for various violations related to hunting, fishing, and wildlife regulations, with penalties ranging from $50 to $5,000 and potential imprisonment depending on the severity and type of offense. The bill also introduces new provisions for the posting of wildlife sanctuary borders to ensure public awareness and establishes a defense against violations if proper notice is not given. Furthermore, it outlines stricter consequences for repeat offenders, including longer license suspensions, and introduces a "Wildlife Violator Compact" that allows participating states to recognize and enforce each other's hunting and fishing license suspensions, promoting consistent enforcement across jurisdictions.
