AN ACT AUTHORIZING A LIMITED BLACK BEAR HUNTING SEASON.

HB 5021 authorizes a limited black bear hunting season to manage the state's black bear population and protect residents. The bill would amend general statutes to permit a controlled hunting season, directly affecting bear populations and residents in areas where bears may pose safety concerns. Key provisions include establishing a regulated hunting season with specific timing and limits, though details like season length or quotas are not specified in the bill text. This policy change focuses on wildlife management as a concrete step to address human-bear conflicts.
