(By Delegates McGeehan and Ihle)
[Introduced February 6, 2015; referred to the
Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources then the Judiciary.]
A BILL to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by adding thereto a new section, designated §20-2-20a, relating to trapping coyote; and checking traps once every seventy- two hours.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended by adding thereto a new section, designated §20-2-20a, to read as follows:
ARTICLE 2. WILDLIFE RESOURCES.
§20-2-20a. Trapping coyote.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this code or rule to the contrary, a person trapping coyote is not required to check the traps more than once every seventy-two hours.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to provide that persons trapping coyote need only check traps once every seventy- two hours.
This section is new; therefore it is completely underscored.
