§695b Applicability of Certain Statutes
Title 16 › Chapter 6— GAME AND BIRD PRESERVES; PROTECTION › § 695b
Summary
Sections 715g–715i and 715l–715n apply to sections 695–695c as if they were written into those sections. Lands bought under those rules can be managed mainly as wildlife areas and may not follow the ban in section 715i on taking birds, nests, or eggs. The California Fish and Game Commission may set hunting rules there to meet the goals of sections 695–695c, but those rules must still follow the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of July 3, 1918 [16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.].
