     1    Section 1. Section 11-0705 of the environmental conservation  law,  as

     4  § 11-0705. Failure to carry license, tag or  bowhunting  and/or  muzzle-
     5               loading privileges.
     6    1.  a.  The  holder of a license, tag, bowhunting privilege or muzzle-
     7  loading privilege defined in section 11-0701 of this title shall:
     8    (1) have such license, tag or privilege on the holder's  person  while
     9  exercising  any  privilege  of that license stated in section 11-0701 of
    10  this title, or while assisting or accompanying a  minor  in  hunting  as
    11  provided in section 11-0929 of this article, and
    12    (2) shall exhibit it on demand to any police officer, peace officer or
    13  owner,  lessee or person in control of the lands or waters or the desig-
    14  nees of the owner, lessee or person in control of the lands or waters on
    15  which the license holder is present.
    16    2. [a. Holders of a hunting license while exercising the privileges of
    17  such license, shall have the back tag issued with their license attached
    18  to and displayed on the back of the outer garment between the  shoulders
    19  in such manner that all figures are plainly visible at all times.
    20    b. The license tag for the current year only shall be displayed.

                                                                   LBD00672-03-5

        A. 3937--A                          2

     1    c. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs a and b of this subdi-
     2  vision,  a  license holder shall not be required to display such license
     3  tag in the Northern Zone or the Catskill Park.
     4    3.] Failure of a licensee to have the holder's license, tag or license
     5  with  bowhunting  and/or muzzle-loading privilege included, on the hold-
     6  er's person while hunting, fishing or trapping, is presumptive  evidence
     7  that  the  holder  is  hunting, fishing or trapping, as the case may be,
     8  without holding the license, tag or license and  bowhunting  or  muzzle-
     9  loading  privilege  required by subdivision 6 of section 11-0703 of this
    10  title.
    11    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
