BILL NUMBER:S3421
Title of bill
An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to youth pheasant hunting days on Long Island; and providing for the repeal of certain provisions upon the expiration thereof
Purpose
To authorize the DEC to make youth-only pheasant hunting opportunities available on Long Island.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 authorizes the DEC to fix by regulation youth-only pheasant hunting opportunities on Long Island, provided that such opportunity precedes the open season.
Section 2 makes technical changes to inconsistent language in Environmental Conservation Law section 11-0903.
Section 3 contains the effective date.
Justification
Youth only pheasant hunts are already offered in the Northeastern and Western portions of the State. Environmental Conservation Law currently authorizes the DEC to set youth-only hunts for pheasants by regulation everywhere in the State but on Long Island.
Long Island sportspersons have expressed an interest in improving and expanding youth only hunting opportunities. Special youth-only hunts, occurring before the open season, give youth a unique opportunity to participate in the sport free of other hunters and with greatly improved changes of obtaining their quarry.
Legislative history
New bill.
Fiscal implications
De minimis increase in sales of Junior Hunting Licenses.
Effective date
This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall have become law, provided that paragraph c-1 of section 11-0903 of the Environmental Conservation Law as added by section one of this act shall expire and be deemed repealed December 31, 2013.
