Duck hunt stamp bill killed in committee
A California bill requiring a one dollar state duck stamp for waterfowl hunting was rejected by the Assembly Natural Resources and Conservation Committee in a split vote. Proponents urged funding for Canadian duck habitat, but Fish and Game officials said hunters should not be taxed for out-of-state programs. The measure faced opposition over funding private conservation groups and legal concerns. The fate of the bill remains uncertain as supporters cite widescale hunting group support.
