AB 724: Fur-bearing and nongame mammals: trapping licenses.
What AB 724 does, verified February 3, 2026
This bill aims to amend the Fish and Game Code to make changes to the trapping license fees for fur-bearing and nongame mammals. A person who traps these mammals must still obtain a trapping license from the Department of Fish and Wildlife. The bill would update the fees for the license, which currently vary based on the applicant's age and residency. The proposed changes are non-substantive, meaning they do not alter the underlying rules but rather modify the existing language.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 724, as introduced, Zbur. Fur-bearing and nongame mammals: trapping licenses.
Existing law requires a person who traps fur-bearing mammals or nongame mammals to procure a trapping license from the Department of Fish and Wildlife, except as provided, and to pay a specified fee for that license that varies based on the age and residency of the applicant.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the latter provisions relating to the specified fees for the license.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1.
Section 4006 of the Fish and Game Code is amended to read:4006.
(a) A trapping license shall be issued as follows:(1) To any resident of this state over the age of 16 years upon payment of a base fee of forty-five dollars ($45), as adjusted under Section 713.
(2) To any resident of this state under the age of 16 years upon payment of a base fee of fifteen dollars ($15), as adjusted under Section 713.
(3) To any person not a resident of this state upon payment of a base fee of two hundred twenty-five dollars ($225), as adjusted under Section 713.
(b) A license shall not be issued to a nonresident if the state in which he or she the person resides does not provide for issuance of a nonresident trapping license to California residents. Also, a nonresident issued a license under this subdivision may take only those species, and may take or possess only that quantity of a species that a resident of California may take or possess under a nonresident trapping license or permit in the state of residence of that nonresident.
(c) The commission shall adjust the amount of the fees specified in subdivision (a), as necessary, to fully recover, but not exceed, all reasonable administrative and implementation costs of the department and the commission relating to those licenses.
