Fish and Game Commission: youth hunting program.

Existing law delegates to the Fish and Game Commission the power to regulate the taking or possession of birds, mammals, fish, amphibians, and reptiles, except as provided. This bill would require the commission to establish a program to increase opportunities to hunt big game, upland game birds, and migratory game birds for youth with terminal illnesses and youth who lost a parent in service to the state or country, as defined, and would require the commission to report any findings to the Legislature and the Governor on or before January 1, 2022, on the progress of the program.
