Prohibits enforcement of certain trapping violations in areas subject to law enforcement investigation.

This bill (S 1609) prevents the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection from issuing violations against trapping licensees who fail to check traps daily, if the trap is in an area under active law enforcement investigation and the licensee was instructed by police or other law enforcement to leave. It directly affects licensed trappers operating in areas where investigations (e.g., criminal activity, safety concerns) are ongoing. The key provision waives the standard requirement for daily trap checks during such investigations, as long as the trapper follows law enforcement instructions to vacate. This modifies current rules that typically mandate daily checks for traps in tidal areas and other settings. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
