Referred to Rules
Summary
The bill makes a license mandatory for anyone trapping furbearers, establishes resident and non‑resident fees, and outlines fines and possible jail time for violations. It exempts holders of lifetime hunting licenses and owners, tenants, or their children who trap on their own land, and it allows unlimited snares for coyotes and feral hogs on agricultural property with only a daily check requirement. The measure aims to tighten regulation of trapping while giving farmers more freedom to control nuisance wildlife.
