This bill died with 2009-2010 Regular Session. It reached “Introduced” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law generally provides that it is a crime to import for commercial purposes, possess with intent to sell, or sell any part or product of the dead body of a kangaroo, subject to specified misdemeanor penalties for each violation. However, until January 1, 2011, exception is made for kangaroos that may be harvested lawfully under Australian national and state law, the federal Endangered Species Act of 1971, and applicable international conventions, under specified conditions. This bill would make the prohibition against importation for commercial purposes inapplicable to the dead body of any kangaroo. It would delete the exception and the January 1, 2011, termination date.
