A 10633 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to deer management permits; repealer

This bill allows the state to issue special deer management permits in the northern zone, enabling hunters to take one additional deer beyond their regular license limit until December 31, 2027. The legislation authorizes the environmental conservation department to create rules defining specific areas within the northern zone where these permits apply. It also repeals an existing provision that previously restricted similar permit issuance in that region. Hunters in the northern zone would be directly affected by this change, while the department gains flexibility to manage deer populations in balance with available habitat.
