The bill amends the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act by updating sections 73104 and 73105. It prohibits individuals from removing, defacing, or destroying signs or posters that have been posted, as well as purple paint marks placed on trees or posts, under this part of the law. Additionally, it specifies that a person cannot post a sign or place a purple paint mark on another person's property to restrict hunting, fishing, trapping, or other recreational activities without obtaining written permission from the property owner or their lessee or agent.
The amendments also include changes in language for clarity, such as replacing "his or her" with "the owner's" to ensure gender neutrality. The bill stipulates that it will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, but only if House Bill No. 4176 is also enacted.
