This bill amends the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act by revising Section 73102, which governs the entry onto another person's property for recreational activities or trapping. The bill specifies that individuals cannot enter or remain on another person's property without the owner's consent, except under certain conditions. These conditions include if the property is fenced or posted against entry, with specific requirements for signage and the use of purple paint marks to indicate boundaries. The bill also clarifies that fishermen may access navigable public streams without consent, provided they do not damage farm products.

Additionally, the bill allows individuals, excluding those with firearms, to enter another person's property to retrieve a hunting dog, as long as they do not remain longer than necessary. Consent to enter can be given orally or in writing, and the bill establishes that the presence of an individual on the property without written consent is considered unlawful entry if the owner requires such consent. The amendments take effect 90 days after enactment and are contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4177.
