Under existing law, the violation of any rule of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources prohibiting the transportation and release of live feral swine is a Class B misdemeanor punishable as provided by law, except the offense is subject to a minimum fine of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500). This bill would delete the element of transportation of live feral swine from the specified criminal penalties of this law. This bill would also specify that the transportation of live feral swine is not a criminal offense.
