LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2268, as amended, Bigelow. Department of Fish and
Wildlife. Game mammals: wild pig depredation.
(1) Existing law defines the term "wild pig" for purposes of
managing, taking, or hunting that species.
The bill would also define "pigs" and prohibit the release of pigs
into uncontrolled areas. The bill would provide that an area shall
be deemed controlled if the pigs are regularly cared for and enclosed
by a lawful fence, as defined. The bill would provide that an owner
of a pig that escapes from a controlled area who has complied with
this provision is not deemed to be in violation of any law that
prohibits the release of any animal.
(2) Existing law requires the Department of Fish and Wildlife to
prepare a management plan for wild pigs and provides that funds
deposited in the Big Game Management Account shall be available to
the department to be used for, among other things, acquiring land,
completing projects, and implementing programs to benefit specified
game mammals. Existing law authorizes the department to make grants
to, reimburse, or enter into contracts or other agreements with
nonprofit organizations for these purposes.
The bill would delete the requirement that the department prepare
a management plan for wild pigs. The bill would also require the
department's granting criteria for Big Game Management Account
programs to include consideration for projects that restore wildland
habitat affected by wild pigs. The bill would also authorize the use
of funds from this account for grants and reimbursement to, and
contracts with, state and federal land management agencies for
projects on lands that are open for hunting.
(3) Existing law classifies the wild pig as a game mammal and
requires a person to procure, as specified, either a hunting license
and a wild pig tag or a depredation permit in order to take a wild
pig. However, existing law provides that any wild pig that is
encountered while in the act of inflicting injury to, or damaging or
destroying, or threatening to immediately damage or destroy, land or
other property may be taken immediately by the owner or the owner's
employee or agent, as specified. Existing regulations prohibit a
person with a hunting license and a wild pig tag from taking a wild
pig between 1/2 hour after sunset and 1/2 hour before sunrise.
Existing regulations authorize a person with a depredation permit to
take a wild pig during the hours specified in the permit.
This bill would revise and recast the provisions applicable to
wild pigs by, among other things, reclassifying the wild pig as a
nongame mammal for taking or possessing purposes. The bill would
replace the wild pig tag requirement with a validation on the hunting
license that would allow for the unlimited take and possession of
wild pigs. The bill would set the price of a wild pig validation at
$15 for residents and $30 for nonresidents. The bill would prohibit
the taking of wild pigs at night, as specified, except by landowners
or their employees or agents of depredating wild pigs if the
department is notified by 3:00 p.m. prior to the planned take or, if
the daylight hours before the planned take are not on a business day,
by 3:00 p.m. of the last business day before the planned take and
the person taking the wild pig possesses a valid hunting license. The
bill would provide that the permission granted for the planned take
under these provisions applies to the night designated in the
notification and the six nights following.
(4) Existing law establishes the base fees for wild pig tags
beginning with the year 2004 and requires their adjustment annually
according to the change in the Implicit Price Deflator for State and
Local Government Purchases of Goods and Services, as published by the
United States Department of Commerce. Existing law requires the
Department of Fish and Wildlife to determine this change and to
recalculate the current base fees charged for each license, stamp,
permit, tag, or other entitlement issued by the department and
requires the Fish and Game Commission to comply with these
requirements.
This bill would instead, beginning with the 2014 license year,
authorize the commission to adjust annually the base fees for wild
pig validations to an amount that raises revenues not to exceed its
costs of regulation relating to wild pigs.
(5) The bill would make other technical and conforming changes to
these provisions.
(6) Because the bill would create new crimes, it would impose a
state-mandated local program.
(7) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
Existing law requires the Department of Fish and Wildlife to
prepare a plan for the management of wild pigs to determine the
status and trend of wild pig populations and to designate management
units within the state. Existing law requires the department, in
preparing the plan, to consider available, existing information and
literature relative to wild pigs.
This bill would require the department to conduct a study on the
wild pig population in California that includes in its
recommendations solutions to mitigate the wild pig population.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no yes .
