Existing law makes it unlawful to take any bird, mammal, fish, reptile, or amphibian except as provided in the Fish and Game Code or regulations adopted pursuant to that code. Under existing law, possession of those animals or parts of those animals, under specified circumstances, is prima facie evidence the possessor took the animal or animal parts.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to those latter provisions.
(a)It is unlawful to take a bird, mammal, fish, reptile, or amphibian except as provided in this code or in a regulation adopted pursuant to this code.
(b)Possession of a bird, mammal, fish, reptile, amphibian, or part of any of those animals, in or on the fields, forests, or waters of this state, or while returning from those places with fishing or hunting equipment, is prima facie evidence the possessor took the bird, mammal, fish, reptile, or amphibian, or part of that animal.
