Urges DEP to reduce coyote population in NJ.

This bill is an Assembly Resolution that respectfully urges the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to reduce the state's coyote population. It is sponsored by Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia and directs the Division of Fish and Wildlife to take action based on concerns about coyote population growth, disease transmission, and increased attacks on humans and pets. The resolution cites rising coyote sightings across all 21 counties and notes that habituated coyotes are more likely to exhibit aggressive behavior. Copies of the resolution will be sent to the Governor, the Commissioner of Environmental Protection, and the Director of the Division of Fish and Wildlife.
