	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1134, as introduced, Hueso. Migratory birds: state duck stamps.

   Existing law authorizes the Fish and Game Commission to adopt

hunting validation to take migratory birds, as specified.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to these provisions.

   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

in his or her possession while taking those birds.
   (b) State duck stamps, open edition, shall be sold for a fee of
ten dollars ($10) by the department and by license agents, who are
