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 the Environment Committee, aims to enhance the safety and quality of life for residents in that region. The bill stipulates that the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection will enforce this prohibition, overriding any existing provisions in title 26 of the general statutes.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage and introduces a new section to the law, specifically stating the prohibition of hunting in the designated area. There are no deletions from current law, as the entire text of the bill is new. The co-sponsors of the bill include Representatives Paolillo, Wood, and Dillon, along with Senator Looney.
