I just hear about this bill in Oregon on the radio today. Apparently the metropolitan areas are up in arms because the rural folks had a coyote hunting competition. The rural folks even had the gall to offer up prizes to the hunters.
The proposed bill:

I'm anything from a legal scholar but things just read stupid in this bill.
Line 2:
Relating to unlawful takings of wildlife; and declaring an emergency.
What unlawful taking of wildlife? Coyotes are a legally hunted species with no limit applied.
Emergency? I'm a bit slow, but I don't see an emergency situation here.
The bill covers furry critters but no mention of the fishes. Are they unaware that countless fishing derby's are conducted statewide? They even offer prizes. Maybe the fish don't count because they aren't cuddly.
SECTION 3. This 2019 Act being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety, an emergency is declared to exist, and this 2019 Act takes effect on its passage.
What the what? Where is disturbance of public peace, public health and safety?
These people have lost their minds.....
