BILL NUMBER: S6142
TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to
allowing the use of rifles for hunting in Ontario county
PURPOSE :
This bill would serve as a chapter amendment to legislative bills
numbered A.7581-A and S.6057 of 2009 that when signed into law would
allow the hunting of deer and bear through the use of a rifle in
Ontario County by restricting same to the area within the county south
of NYS Route 20.
JUSTIFICATION :
Legislative bills A.7581-A and 5.6057 were passed by the Assembly and
the Senate at the request of Ontario County that it be included in
those areas where sportsmen and women are able to hunt deer and bear
with rifles. Unfortunately, the legislation omitted the qualifying
language "south of NYS Route 20" which was specifically referenced by
the county and specifically referenced in the sponsors memoranda of
the original bills. This chapter amendment would cure that omission
and restrict rifle hunting to the more rural areas of Ontario County.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
New bill.
