Relates to including the mourning dove within the definition of "migratory game birds" and to allow for their taking

This bill amends New York's environmental conservation law to include mourning doves (Zenaida macroura) in the legal definition of "migratory game birds." It permits hunters to legally take mourning doves under state hunting regulations, expanding the current list of birds covered by migratory bird hunting rules. The change takes effect immediately, requiring state wildlife agencies to update relevant rules by that date. The policy directly affects New York hunters and wildlife management authorities.
