1 <br /> I. <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No.( -1 <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: May 1 , 1989 <br /> SUBJECT: Senate Bill 339, An Act to Establish Uniformity in the Regulation <br /> of Roadside Hunting. <br /> DEPARTMENT: Manager PUBLIC HEARING YES: NO: X <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) : Letter from INFORMATION CONTACT: Manager 's Office <br /> Senator Hunt X501 <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBER- <br /> Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill - 968-4501 <br /> Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> Durham - 688-7331 <br /> PURPOSE: To respond to Senate Bill 339, An Act to Establish Uniformity in <br /> the Regulation of Roadside Hunting. <br /> BACKGROUND: SB 339 attempts to provide a statewide uniform standard to <br /> the issue of roadside hunting. At present there are over 10 <br /> local Acts, including Orange County's. This multiplicity has <br /> created confusion for hunters, wildlife officers and the <br /> public. At the February 6th Board meeting, Commissioners <br /> commented that laws on roadside hunting needed greater clarity <br /> of purpose and stronger enforcement. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : The Manager recommends that the Board endorse SB 339 <br /> with one change; the deletion of the first phrase under <br /> paragraph (b) of section 113-291 .9 as follows: "Unless a <br /> person owes or possesses a leasehold interest in real property <br /> situated on either side of the road or highway. . . " . The <br /> point being made is that roadside hunting should and would be <br /> unlawful regardless of property ownership. <br />
