                           Bill Summary
       
            (Note:  This summary applies to this bill as introduced and does
       not reflect any amendments that may be subsequently adopted. If this bill
       passes third reading in the house of introduction, a bill summary that

            Currently, moose, rocky mountain bighorn sheep, desert bighorn
       sheep, and rocky mountain goats are excluded from the landowner
       preference program for hunting licenses. The bill deletes this exclusion,
       authorizing the parks and wildlife commission to include these animals
       in the program.
       
       
       
       Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
            SECTION 1.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, 33-4-103, amend (3)
       as follows:
            33-4-103.  Landowner preference for hunting license -
       legislative declaration - rules. (3)  Applications - availability. (a)  After
       determining a landowner is eligible and in compliance with this section,
       the division shall issue the landowner applications for licenses permitting
       the hunting of deer, elk, pronghorn, and such other species except for
       moose, rocky mountain big horn sheep, desert big horn sheep, and rocky
       mountain goat, that meet the commission's animal management objectives
       for the game management unit where the property lies, in an amount
       determined by this subsection (3).
            SECTION 2.  Act subject to petition - effective date. This act
       takes effect at 12:01 a.m. on the day following the expiration of the
       ninety-day period after final adjournment of the general assembly (August
       10, 2016, if adjournment sine die is on May 11, 2016); except that, if a
       referendum petition is filed pursuant to section 1 (3) of article V of the
       state constitution against this act or an item, section, or part of this act
       within such period, then the act, item, section, or part will not take effect
       unless approved by the people at the general election to be held in
       November 2016 and, in such case, will take effect on the date of the
       official declaration of the vote thereon by the governor.
