Extends provisions relating to the authority of the department of environmental conservation to manage deer and bear

This bill extends the authority of the Department of Environmental Conservation to manage deer and bear populations until December 31, 2027. It allows the department to set hunting seasons, bag limits, and other regulations for these animals based on population levels and habitat conditions. The legislation also permits the issuance of special permits for additional deer harvest in areas where the population is considered too high. These changes directly affect hunters and wildlife management policies by ensuring the department can continue its current management strategies beyond the previous expiration date.
