AN ACT PROHIBITING THE USE OF STEEL JAW LEG HOLD AND BODY CRUSHING TRAPS.

SB 734 would ban the use of steel jaw leg hold traps and body crushing traps in the state. These traps, often used in wildlife management or pest control, pose a risk of accidental injury to pets and children who might encounter them. The bill amends existing statutes to prohibit the sale, possession, and use of these specific trap types. This change directly affects trappers, landowners, and property managers who currently use such devices, aiming to prevent unintended harm.
