Clarifies that Fish and Game Council has sole authority to regulate freshwater fishing, hunting, and trapping.

S 1839 clarifies that New Jersey's Fish and Game Council holds sole authority to regulate freshwater fishing, hunting, and trapping. The bill amends statutes to define the Council as having exclusive power to establish rules under Section 32 of the law, including setting seasons, limits, and methods for managing fish and wildlife. This directly affects the Council, the Division of Fish and Wildlife, and the Department of Environmental Protection by specifying that the Council - not the Department - makes final decisions on these regulations. The bill does not change existing rules but clarifies the Council's regulatory role to prevent overlapping authority.
