	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 536, as introduced, Hollingsworth. Commercial hunting clubs.
   Under existing law, a person in possession or control of property
on or with respect to which a fee for the privilege of taking birds
or mammals is imposed or collected, or on or with respect to which a
fee for any type of entry or use permit that includes the privilege
of taking birds or mammals on the property is imposed or collected,
