Summary
Official abstract published by the California legislature· summary
The California Constitution establishes the Fish and Game Commission and provides for the delegation to the commission of powers relating to the protection and propagation of fish and game. Existing law places the Fish and Game Commission in the Natural Resources Agency.
Under existing law, a hunting license grants the privilege to take birds and mammals. Existing law provides for the issuance by the Department of Fish and Wildlife of tags that are required in addition to a hunting license to take specified animals, including antelope, elk, deer, bears, and bighorn rams. Existing law prohibits the transfer of a tag issued by the department.
This bill would require the commission to establish a hunting tag transfer program that authorizes a person to transfer a tag issued for the take of one of those species to their child or grandchild, subject to specified conditions. The bill would require the department to collect a fee to cover the reasonable costs of transferring a tag and would require the department to deposit the revenues from the fee into the Big Game Management Account. The bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2033.
