Revises Fish and Game Council membership.
This bill changes the composition of New Jersey's Fish and Game Council by replacing three of the six sportsmen representatives with three animal welfare representatives. The council will now include three farmer representatives (recommended by the agricultural convention), three sportsmen representatives, three animal welfare representatives (recommended by approved animal welfare organizations), one member from the Endangered Species Advisory Committee, and one land-use expert. The total number of council members remains at 11, with no change to the council's responsibilities. The bill ensures animal welfare organizations gain direct representation on the council alongside other conservation stakeholders.
