FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business

DESCRIPTION
The proposed legislation would expand the arrest powers of conservation
agents. Such powers would include the authority to arrest on view, and
without a warrant, any person the agent sees asserting physical force for the
purpose of causing or creating a substantial risk or serious injury to any
person.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
