Senate committee releases controversial hunting bills
TRENTON – Several bills centered on hunting, including two controversial proposed measures, were released by the state Senate Environment and Energy Committee on Monday.
The two most controversial bills, both passed by a slim 3-2 margin, centered on where and how hunting should be allowed in New Jersey, particularly on Sunday.
One of the Senate bills (S1683) released authorizes Sunday bow hunting on federal military installations. (Bonamo/PolitickerNJ)
