HB1265

The engrossed version drastically rewrote the bill to remove the "avian special purpose salvage permit" system entirely, instead narrowing the egg salvage allowance to only those protected by federal migratory bird permits and those destroyed during normal agricultural operations—effectively WEAKENING the original bill's intent to create a state permitting mechanism for salvaging non-migratory game bird eggs. The amendment also stripped out the state permit application process, fees, and bird release requirements that were central to the introduced version.

The amendment removes the "hoghouse" designation and extensive editorial markups from the engrossed version, converting it to the final enrolled bill format with proper legislative certificates and signature lines. The substantive language of the bill—authorizing egg salvage only with a federal migratory bird permit and excluding eggs of fully protected bird species—remains unchanged, merely cleaned up for official enactment.
