Introduced by: Mary Margaret Whipple | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Endangered and threatened species. Authorizes the Board of Game and Inland Fisheries to adopt regulations that allow the (i) taking, possession, exportation, transportation, or release of fish or wildlife within or among designated experimental populations of a specific species, within the context of an approved conservation plan for the species, and (ii) incidental taking of certain endangered or threatened species of fish and wildlife as long as the project enhances the long-term survival of the species and the taking is at a minimum level. The bill exempts the incidental taking of animals from designated experimental populations from the currently authorized prohibitions and penalties. Currently, the Board may permit the taking, transportation, exportation, or possession of any endangered or threatened species of fish or wildlife only for zoological, educational, scientific, or preservation purposes.
