What it does

This bill authorizes counties to establish coyote bounty programs. Current law prohibits a county board of supervisors from paying a bounty on crows, rattlesnakes, foxes, or wolves, but a board of supervisors may pay a bounty on coyotes. The bill requires a county that establishes a coyote bounty program to offer a $10 bounty for a coyote lawfully taken within the county.
