Amend CSHB 3391 by adding the following appropriately
numbered SECTIONS and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS accordingly:
SECTION ____. Section 62.0031, Parks and Wildlife Code, is
amended by amending Subsection (b) and adding Subsection (c) to
read as follows:
(b) This section does not apply to:
(1) the trapping of a raptor for educational or
sporting purposes as provided by Chapter 49; or
(2) the capture, trapping, or hunting of a reptile,
amphibian, or insect.
(c) The commission may adopt rules governing the safe
participation in activities described by Subsection (b).
SECTION ____. Conduct prohibited by Section 62.0031, Parks
and Wildlife Code, that involves the capture, trapping, or hunting
of a reptile, amphibian, or insect may not be prosecuted after the
effective date of this Act. If on the effective date of this Act a
criminal action is pending for conduct prohibited by Section
62.0031 and described by this section, the action is dismissed on
that date. However, a final conviction for conduct prohibited by
Section 62.0031 and described by this section that exists on the
effective date of this Act is unaffected by this Act.
