Police Powers of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission

Summary

The measure would designate the commission’s director, assistants, and officers as peace officers, allowing them to enter any state land or water and make arrests for violations they witness or that occur on lands the commission manages. It would apply to enforcement of game, fish, and wildlife laws across Florida, treating commission personnel the same as law‑enforcement officers for entry onto private premises. The bill died in the Criminal Justice Subcommittee and did not become law.
