AN ACT relating to fish and wildlife law enforcement.

Summary

The measure lets Kentucky game wardens act like peace officers, allowing them to enter private land, make arrests and seize contraband for wildlife violations. It also requires all other officers to have a search warrant, owner permission, or an emergency before conducting covert surveillance on private open land, and they must notify the landowner when they do. The changes aim to protect landowner privacy while strengthening wildlife law enforcement.
