Urges DEP to reduce coyote population in NJ.
This non-binding Assembly Resolution (AR 207) urges the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Division of Fish and Wildlife to reduce the state's coyote population. It cites increasing coyote sightings across all 21 counties since 1980, concerns about coyotes transmitting diseases to humans and pets, and rising attacks (including on children) as reasons for the request. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but formally asks the DEP to take action on coyote management. It is sponsored by Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia (District 24) and focuses on public safety concerns related to expanding coyote-human interactions.
