The bill amends Section 43.1075 of the Parks and Wildlife Code to allow qualified landowners or their agents to use helicopters for the purpose of taking aoudad sheep, in addition to the existing provisions for depredating feral hogs and coyotes. The new legal language specifies that this activity can be conducted under the authority of a permit issued by the Parks and Wildlife Commission.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that the Parks and Wildlife Commission adopt or amend rules as necessary to implement this change in law as soon as practicable after the bill's effective date, which is set for September 1, 2025. This legislative change aims to provide landowners with additional tools for managing wildlife populations that may be causing damage to their properties.
