Removes statutory limitation on number of permits that may be issued by Division of Fish and Wildlife for the taking of beaver.
This bill removes the current legal limit of 200 annual permits for beaver trapping. It allows the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife to issue as many permits as needed for managing beaver populations, without a fixed annual cap. The change applies to all permits, including those for landowners seeking to control beavers causing property damage. The bill does not alter other permit requirements, such as the $15 fee or the five-beaver limit per permit.
