Taking of Bears (HB 87)

Score:

47

%

This bill known as the ‘"Self-Defense Act" of 2024 allows the lethal taking of bears without a permit on private property if a person feels threatened and believes it is necessary for self-protection. It exempts the person from penalties but requires reporting to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission within 24 hours. It prohibits possession, sale, or disposal of taken bears, which must be handled by the commission. It also prohibits luring or provoking bears to qualify under this act.
