This bill aims to amend the enforcement of trapping violations in New Jersey by providing specific protections for trapping licensees. It stipulates that the Department of Environmental Protection, or any authorized enforcement personnel, cannot issue a violation for failing to check a trap within the mandated time frame if the trap is situated in an area under law enforcement investigation. This exemption applies only if the licensee has been directed by a federal, state, or local law enforcement agent to vacate the area.

The bill is designed to ensure that trapping licensees are not penalized for compliance with law enforcement directives during investigations, thereby balancing wildlife management regulations with the realities of law enforcement operations. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
