S 1725 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Removes statutory limitation on number of permits that may be issued by Division of Fish and Wildlife for the taking of beaver.

S 1725 removes a current legal limit that restricts the Division of Fish and Wildlife to issuing no more than 200 beaver trapping permits annually. This change directly affects landowners or property managers who need permits to control beavers damaging their property, as the division can now issue as many permits as needed for wildlife management. The key provision eliminates the specific 200-permit cap in the existing law, granting the division full discretion to issue permits based on resource management needs. The bill does not create new regulations or fees but allows the division to adjust permit issuance without numerical limits.
