Today, HUNTING PROTECTIONS (AB 815) passed unanimously (73-0) off the Assembly Floor. Thank you for your efforts in support of AB 815. Please stay tuned for the bill's first committee assignment in the Senate.
- This bill would prohibit a city or county from adopting an ordinance or regulation within its jurisdiction that affects the taking of fish and game unless the ordinance meets prescribed requirements. The bill would also provide that unless otherwise expressly authorized by the Fish and Game Code or federal law, the commission is the only entity that may adopt regulations regarding the taking of fish and game on any lands or waters within the state.

ITEM 2:
AB 362 has been scheduled for a hearing in the Assembly Appropriations Committee on Thursday, May 31, 2007. Please continue to contact the committee members and urge a NO vote on AB 362.
- This bill would require that commencing July 1, 2008, unless specifically excluded, no person shall sell or transfer more than 50 rounds of handgun ammunition in any month unless they are registered as a handgun ammunition vendor, as defined.
- The bill would also require these vendors to obtain a background clearance for those employees who would handle ammunition in the course and scope of their employment.
- The bill would require the Department of Justice to maintain a registry of registered handgun ammunition vendors, as specified. Violation of these provisions, as specified, would be a misdemeanor.
- The bill would also provide that no retail seller of ammunition shall sell, offer for sale, or display for sale, any handgun ammunition in a manner that allows that ammunition to be accessible to a purchaser without the assistance of the retailer or employee thereof. Violation of these provisions would be punishable as an infraction with a fine of $500, or as a misdemeanor.
- The bill would further provide that no ammunition or reloaded ammunition may be delivered by a common or contract carrier pursuant to a retail transaction unless certain conditions exist. A violation of these provisions would be punishable as a misdemeanor, with enhancements for prior violations.
- This bill would provide that any person under 21 years of age who purchases, or who attempts to purchase, handgun ammunition by using a false identification document, or by otherwise misrepresenting the person's age, and any minor who purchases, or attempts to purchase, any ammunition by using a false identification document, or otherwise misrepresenting the person's age, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
