BILL NUMBER:S4967 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to continuing the authority of the department of environmental conservation to adopt regulations for hunting in the northern zone PURPOSE: To extend the Department of Environmental Conservation's (DEC) regulatory authority to manage deer hunting in the Northern Zone.
