Filed under Environment & Water.
Police Powers of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission; Specifies conditions under which commission officers & other commission personnel may enter private property.
Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDFish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers may still enter land, water, and premises to do their jobs, but must now do so in the same manner and under the same requirements as a regular law enforcement officer.
The law no longer says officers can go onto any posted or unposted property regardless of No Trespassing signs; that specific override is deleted and replaced with the same law-enforcement-officer standard.
AICommission officers' authority to enter land or waters of the state for their lawful duties is now expressly conditioned on acting in the same manner and under the same requirements as a regular law enforcement officer, rather than standing as a separate, unconditioned grant. The entry still does not count as a trespass.
AIPrior law let officers go upon all premises whether posted with No Trespassing signage or not, with no reference to general law enforcement standards. That specific blanket-authority clause is deleted and replaced with the same law-enforcement-officer standard used elsewhere in the section.
