Summary
Existing law prescribes certain penalties for the illegal sale or purchase of abalone taken by a person required to be licensed, as specified. Existing law prescribes certain penalties for the illegal take, possession, import, export, sale, purchase, barter, trade, or exchange of a bird, fish, mammal, reptile, amphibian, or part of any of those animals, or the illegal take or possession in the field of more than 3 times the daily bag limit, or the illegal possession of more than 3 times the legal possession limit, of those animals. Existing law prescribes certain penalties for the knowing violation and conviction of certain provisions involving trophy deer, elk, antelope, bighorn sheep, or wild turkey. This bill would prohibit, if the court grants probation to a person punished pursuant to the above provisions, the period of probation from exceeding 3 years. Because this bill would extend the maximum period of probation that may be granted pursuant to these provisions, and thereby would increase the penalty for a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
