BILL NUMBER:S5645
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 366 of the laws of 2011 amending the environmental conservation law relating to youth pheasant hunting days on Long Island, in relation to the effectiveness of such chapter
Purpose
The purpose of this bill is to extend the authorization of DEC to make youth only pheasant hunting opportunities available on Long Island until December 31, 2017.
Summary of provisions
Amends the environmental conservation law to extend the effective date of repeal for youth pheasant hunting days on Long Island to December 31, 2017.
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
