The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5261, seeks to amend the general statutes to authorize a limited black bear hunting season in the state. This initiative is aimed at managing the black bear population effectively while also ensuring the safety and protection of residents.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that establishes the framework for the limited hunting season. The intent behind this legislation is to address concerns related to the growing black bear population and its impact on communities.
