Bill overview
This bill clarifies that the Fish and Game Council has sole authority to regulate freshwater fishing, hunting, and trapping in New Jersey. It amends existing legislation to specifically assign these regulatory powers to the Council, removing any potential overlap with the Division of Fish and Wildlife or the Department of Environmental Protection. The bill also clarifies the roles and responsibilities of the Fish and Game Council, the Director of the Division of Fish and Wildlife, and the Commissioner of Environmental Protection. Finally, it updates references to the Department of Conservation and Economic Development and its related divisions.
