Bill > SB457

This bill, the Bobcat Protection Act of 2013, amends existing law to clarify how boundaries are defined for areas where bobcat trapping is prohibited, particularly around protected areas like national and state parks. Previously, these boundaries were described using readily identifiable features such as highways or other major roads, and landmarks. The bill now specifies that these features can include roads (not just major roads), landmarks, and even precise geographic positions determined by navigation and surveying methods, such as those used by the Global Positioning System (GPS). This change aims to provide more flexibility and accuracy in delineating these protected zones, ensuring better protection for bobcats in areas adjacent to or within conservation lands.
