Amend HB 1636 as follows:
(1) On page 1, line 7, strike "PROOF OF RESIDENCY. The" and
substitute "RESIDENCY FOR HUNTING AND OTHER PURPOSES. (a) The".
(2) On page 1, between lines 10 and 11, insert the following:
(b) In addition to any other rules adopted under Subsection
(a), the commission may adopt rules relating to residency for the
purposes of hunting or catching any animal in this state through the
use of any device that remotely controls another device used to hunt
or catch the animal.
(c) A rule described by Subsection (b) may prohibit a class
or classes of persons from hunting or catching an animal in the
manner described by Subsection (b) if the rule treats a class of
persons in a substantially similar manner regardless of whether a
person in the class is a resident or nonresident. A person who
violates a rule adopted under Subsection (b) commits an offense
that is a Class A Parks and Wildlife misdemeanor, and each animal
the person hunts or catches in violation of the rule is a separate
offense.
(3) Insert the following appropriately numbered SECTION in
the bill and renumber subsequent SECTIONS accordingly:
SECTION ____. If HB 391, Acts of the 79th Legislature,
Regular Session, 2005, or other legislation substantially similar
to that Act becomes law, Sections 11.004(b) and (c), Parks and
Wildlife Code, as added by this Act, are void and do not take
effect.
