BILL NUMBER:S4951
TITLE OF BILL: An act to repeal certain provisions of the
environmental conservation law, relating to eliminating back tags
required for hunting
PURPOSE: To no longer require hunters to display back tags while
hunting.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Sections 1 and 2. Removes the requirement to display back tags on
one's outer garment when legally hunting.
Section 3. Effective date.
JUSTIFICATION: This legislation would eliminate the use of back tags
in New York. Currently, back tags are not required to be worn while
hunting in the Northern zone and Catskill Park in New York which
comprises almost 50% of New York's land mass. This bill would simplify
the existing regulations by eliminating confusion along the border
areas of today's back tag and no back tag areas. There are currently
48 other states that do not require the wearing of back tags.
