HB 409 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

WILDLIFE & FISHERIES: Provides relative to harassment of hunters, trappers, and fishermen on lands and waters managed by the state

HB 409 amends existing laws regarding harassment of hunters, trappers, and fishermen on state-managed lands and waters. The bill specifically removes references to the "Fish Preserve" from the scope of protections, narrowing the areas where these individuals are shielded from harassment. By deleting specific lines and phrases throughout the text, the legislation alters the legal definition of protected zones without adding new penalties or enforcement measures.
