BILL NUMBER: S7006
TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the environmental conservation law,
in relation to allowing the use of rifles for hunting in certain
portions of Ontario county
PURPOSE : This bill 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 U.S. Route 20/New York State Route 5.
JUSTIFICATION : At the request of Ontario County, certain portions
of that county south of U.S. Route 20/New York State Route 5 would be
included in those areas where sportsmen and women are able to hunt
deer and bear with rifles. Since 2005, several counties in Southern
and Central New York have been allowed to permit hunting of deer and
bear with rifles. There have been very few reported adverse incidents
or problems. Given the rural nature of that portion of Ontario County
south of U.S. Route 20/New York State Route 5 and the safety record of
hunters in the counties where rifle hunting has been permitted, it
would be reasonable to now permit rifle hunters in southern Ontario
County the same opportunities. This bill corrects the description of
the portion of the county to which it applies, satisfying the concern
raised in the Governor's veto message.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY : 2009 S.6057/A.7581 passed both houses, but was
vetoed by the Governor.
