The proposed bill, General Assembly Committee Bill No. 6236, seeks to prohibit waterfowl and bird hunting in the Morris Cove area of New Haven. This legislation, introduced by various co-sponsors, aims to enhance the safety and quality of life for residents in that region. The bill specifically empowers the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to enforce this prohibition, overriding any existing provisions in title 26 of the general statutes that may allow such hunting activities.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage and introduces a new section to the law, as indicated by the insertion of "Section 1 from passage New section." There are no deletions from current law, as the bill creates a new regulation rather than modifying existing statutes. The overall intent is to create a safer environment for the community by eliminating hunting in this specific area.
