AN ACT AUTHORIZING A LIMITED BLACK BEAR HUNTING SEASON.

HB 6285 authorizes a limited hunting season for black bears in the state. This bill directly affects residents in areas with black bear populations by establishing regulated hunting to manage bear numbers. The key provision is creating a defined season with specific limits to control the population, as stated in the bill's purpose. The measure aims to protect residents by reducing human-bear conflicts through population management. It does not specify season dates, locations, or bag limits, as those details would be set by wildlife officials.
