SB229 Alabama 2014 Session

Under existing law, in order to trap fur-bearing animals, a person is required to have either a resident or nonresident trapping license and to pay the required fee. In addition, the traps used to trap fur-bearing animals are generally required to have a plastic or metal tag which contains the license number and name and address of the owner. Beaver traps are not required to have the license number of the owner on the tag

This bill would further provide for resident and nonresident trapping licenses and fees, would delete the use of plastic tags on traps, would require a license for trapping beaver, and would delete the requirement that the license number of the owner of a trap be contained on any tag

To amend Section 9-11-59 of the Code of Alabama 1975, relating to licensing of persons for the trapping of fur-bearing animals, to further provide for license fees and for the tags used to identify traps being used for trapping.
