Fish and Game Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

This law says that if an area is closed because of a big fire danger, the government can set new hunting or fishing times to make up for the time lost during the closure.

Key Takeaways

•If a place is closed due to fire danger, hunting or fishing seasons can be extended later.
•The extra time for hunting or fishing will match how long the area was closed.
•This only happens when the Governor or other leaders say the area is too dangerous for fires.

Example

A forest is closed for 2 weeks because it's too dry and fires could start easily.

After the forest reopens, the government can add 2 extra weeks to the hunting or fishing season to make up for the lost time.
