HB4

Delaware HB4 amends hunting and fishing regulations, including license revocation, open seasons, and safety zones.

Delaware HB4 amends Title 7 of the Delaware Code to update hunting and fishing regulations. The bill allows the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control to revoke hunting, fishing, or trapping licenses for up to one year under certain conditions, such as convictions for violating game or fish laws or causing injury with firearms. It specifies open seasons for muskrats and red foxes, and sets safety zones for hunting deer by archery. The bill also prohibits nighttime hunting with artificial lights, carrying firearms while training dogs, and using silencers while hunting.
