RIGHT TO HUNT (Berryhill) |

| Description: |
ACA 11, as amended, Bill Berryhill. Hunting and taking
game. Wildlife: hunting and fishing.
The California Constitution authorizes the Legislature to delegate
to the Fish and Game Commission powers relating to the protection
and propagation of fish and game. Existing statutory law delegates to
the commission the power to regulate the taking or possession of
birds, mammals, fish, amphibia, and reptiles in accordance with
prescribed laws. Under existing law, the Department of Fish and Game
exercises various functions with regard to the taking of fish and
game.
This measure would establish the right to hunt and take
game in the state and fish wildlife, as defined,
subject only to statutes enacted by the Legislature and regulations
adopted by the Fish and Game Commission to promote wildlife
conservation and management . It would provide
that public hunting and fishing, including the use of traditional
methods, as defined, would be a preferred means of managing and
controlling wildlife .
Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
