Fur-bearing and nongame mammals: trapping licenses., the official text

An act to amend Section 4006 of the Fish and Game Code, relating to mammals.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

Existing law requires a person who traps fur-bearing mammals or nongame mammals to procure a trapping license from the Department of Fish and Wildlife, except as provided, and to pay a specified fee for that license that varies based on the age and residency of the applicant.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the latter provisions relating to the specified fees for the license.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.
Section 4006 of the Fish and Game Code is amended to read:
4006.
(a) A trapping license shall be issued as follows:
(1) To any resident of this state over the age of 16 years upon payment of a base fee of forty-five dollars ($45), as adjusted under Section 713.
(2) To any resident of this state under the age of 16 years upon payment of a base fee of fifteen dollars ($15), as adjusted under Section 713.
(3) To any person not a resident of this state upon payment of a base fee of two hundred twenty-five dollars ($225), as adjusted under Section 713.
(b) A license shall not be issued to a nonresident if the state in which the person resides does not provide for issuance of a nonresident trapping license to California residents. Also, a nonresident issued a license under this subdivision may take only those species, and may take or possess only that quantity of a species that a resident of California may take or possess under a nonresident trapping license or permit in the state of residence of that nonresident.
(c) The commission shall adjust the amount of the fees specified in subdivision (a), as necessary, to fully recover, but not exceed, all reasonable administrative and implementation costs of the department and the commission relating to those licenses.
