BILL NUMBER:S3884 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the taking of sharks; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To limit the taking the sharks to the use of non-stainless steel non-offset circle hooks.
