Increases minimum civil fine for harassing person taking wildlife and increases criminal penalty for subsequent offenses.

This bill increases the minimum civil fine for harassing someone lawfully taking wildlife from $100 to $250. For repeat offenses, it upgrades the criminal penalty from a "petty disorderly persons offense" (max 30 days jail/$500 fine) to a "disorderly persons offense" (max 6 months jail/$1,000 fine). It also allows victims to seek civil damages for related expenses like license fees or equipment costs. The bill directly affects individuals who harass hunters, researchers, or others legally engaging in wildlife-related activities. The changes would take effect immediately if enacted.
