A 8597 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Extends provisions of law relating to big game hunting authorization for the county of Onondaga

This bill extends the existing authorization for big game hunting in Onondaga County until October 1, 2027, directly affecting hunters and land managers in that county. It modifies the expiration date in a 2023 law (which originally set a 2025 deadline) to push the end date forward by two years. The key provision simply changes the sunset date from October 1, 2025, to October 1, 2027, without altering hunting rules or regulations. The bill was signed into law on August 7, 2025, and is now active.
