Fish and Game Code
California · FGC · §§ 1 to 89.5 · 61 sections
Overview
The act governs the management, conservation, and use of a state's fish and wildlife resources, including commercial fishing, sport hunting, and subsistence taking. It establishes a fish and game department headed by a commissioner, along with separate boards for fisheries and game that hold the primary rulemaking authority — adopting regulations, issuing emergency orders, setting permit conditions for nonresidents, restricting fishing gear, and directing wildlife management and fisheries enhancement work. It also creates a dedicated fish and game fund insulated from diversion to unrelated purposes, accepts the terms of federal wildlife aid programs, and equips enforcement officers with powers of arrest, citation, search, and the seizure and forfeiture of equipment used in violations.
