AN ACT to amend the  environmental  conservation  law,  in  relation  to
  making technical corrections to provisions on wildlife

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Section 11-0511 of the environmental conservation  law,  as
amended  by  chapter  692  of  the  laws  of 2004, is amended to read as
follows:
S 11-0511. Possession and transportation of wildlife.
  Subject to the provisions of  section  11-0512  of  this  article,  no
person  shall,  except under a license or permit first obtained from the
department containing the prominent warning notice specified in subdivi-
sion nine of section 11-0917 of  this  article,  possess,  transport  or
cause  to  be  transported, imported or exported any live wolf, wolfdog,
coyote, coydog, fox, skunk,  RACCOON,  venomous  reptile  [or  raccoon],
endangered species designated pursuant to section 11-0535 of this title,
species  named  in  section  11-0536  of  this title or other species of
native or non-native live wildlife or fish where  the  department  finds
that  possession,  transportation,  importation  or  exportation of such
species of wildlife or fish would present a  danger  to  the  health  or
welfare of the people of the state, an individual resident or indigenous
fish or wildlife population. Environmental conservation officers, forest
rangers  and  members  of  the  state police may seize every such animal
possessed without such license or permit. No action  for  damages  shall
lie  for such seizure, and disposition of seized animals shall be at the
discretion of the department.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.


 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
