AB 1254 An act to amend Section
206 and repeal Section 2017 of,
the Fish and Game Code
(T. Berryhill, R-Modesto) assemblymember.berryhill@assembly.ca.gov |
The California Constitution creates the Fish and Game Commission. Existing law establishes the commission in the Natural Resources Agency to perform specified functions. Existing law requires the commission to hold no fewer than 10 regular meetings per year, with no more than 2 regular meetings to be held in Sacramento per year. This bill would require the commission to hold no fewer than 8 meetings per year, if the commission has adequate funding for related travel, including funding for department travel. It would also require no more than 3, rather than 2, regular meetings to be held in Sacramento per year. Existing law makes it unlawful to take any mammal or bird or to discharge any firearm upon any land where "PRIVATE PROPERTY NO HUNTING" signs are displayed as prescribed. This bill would delete that provision.

AB 2223 Wildlife Management
Areas: nontoxic shot (lead ban)

Because the act would create a new crime, this bill would create a state-mandated local program. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws. |

The bill would provide that violation of these provisions is a misdemeanor. By expanding the scope of an existing crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would require ammunition vendors, commencing February 1, 2011, to provide written notice to the local police chief, or if the vendor is in an unincorporated area, to the county sheriff, of the vendor's intent to conduct business in the jurisdiction, and to obtain any regulatory or business license required by the jurisdiction for ammunition sellers.
