Sportsmen Got Nearly All They Asked For
The 1959 California Legislature adjourned with sportsmen gaining most of their aims. It renewed the Fish and Game Commission’s regulatory powers for two more years and kept the supervisors veto on either sex deer hunts. The Busch Bill requiring county approval of hunts was extended. A $100,000 study urged moving budgeting from the legislature to the department. Assemblywoman Pauline Davis led a cost accounting push, Gov Brown signed the accounting bill, and bow and arrow deer hunts were restored after commission reversal. A sea lion dispute failed. Other measures sent to the governor included a uniform boating act, open reservoirs for recreation, bow hunting for fur-bearers, peace officer powers for wardens, and a hunting-accident reporting requirement within 48 hours.
