BILL NUMBER:S548 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the regulation of live restraint cable devices to take wildlife PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 of this bill amends ECL §11-1101(5) to authorize the DEC to allow the use of live restraint cable devices for the trapping of wildlife.
