   An act to amend Section 200 of the Fish and Game Code, relating to
the Fish and Game Commission.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 991, as introduced, Hueso.  Fish and Game Commission.
    The California Constitution establishes the Fish and Game
Commission and provides for the delegation to the commission of
powers relating to the protection and propagation of fish and game.
Existing statutory law delegates to the commission the power to
regulate the taking or possession of birds, mammals, fish, amphibia,
and reptiles in accordance with prescribed laws. Existing law excepts
from that statutory delegation the power to regulate the taking,
possessing, processing, or use of fish, amphibia, kelp, or other
aquatic plants for commercial purposes.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to the
statutory provisions concerning the commission's delegated power.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
