AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to elim-
  inating  the  requirement  that  hunters wear back tags during hunting
  season in the state

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Subdivisions  2  and 3 of section 11-0705 of the environ-
mental conservation law, paragraphs (a), (b) and (d) of subdivision 2 as
amended by section 24 of part F of chapter 82 of the laws  of  2002  and
subdivision  3 as amended by chapter 57 of the laws of 1993, are amended
to read as follows:
  2.  [a. Holders of a license which authorizes the holder to hunt wild-
life other than big  game,  while  exercising  the  privileges  of  such
license,  shall  have the back tag issued with their license attached to
and displayed on the back of the outer garment between the shoulders  in
such manner that all figures are plainly visible at all times.
  b.  Holders of a license which authorizes the holder to hunt big game,
while hunting wild deer or bear, shall have the  back  tag  issued  with
their license so attached and displayed.
  c. The license tag for the current year only shall be displayed.
  d.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of paragraphs a, b and c of this
subdivision, a license holder shall not  be  required  to  display  such
license tag in the Northern Zone or the Catskill Park.
  3.] Failure of a licensee to have the holder's license, tag or license
with  stamp  affixed, on the holder's person while exercising any privi-
lege of the license, tag or license and stamp,  and  to  wear  in  plain
sight  any button issued with the license while so doing, is presumptive
evidence that the holder is hunting, fishing or trapping,  as  the  case
may  be,  without holding the license, tag or license and stamp required
by subdivision 6 of section 11-0703.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
