CA SB395

Establishes a pilot program (by January 1, 2022) allowing the Fish and Game Commission to issue wildlife salvage permits through a web-based portal for recovering and possessing deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, or wild pig accidentally killed by vehicle collisions on California roadways.

Permits issued at no cost; applicants must report location, animal type, date/time of salvage, incident details, and carcass destination through the web-based portal.

Requires the Department of Fish and Wildlife to implement the pilot program within 6 months of commission establishment and publish data on permits issued, impact locations, and species annually starting March 1 following implementation.

Authorizes the department to develop a separate pilot program at up to 3 high-collision sites to collect wildlife-vehicle collision data and report on feasibility of a statewide reporting system with cost estimates.

Pilot program sunsets January 1, 2029; prohibits salvage of injured animals, endangered species, fully protected species, and migratory birds; limits state liability for harm from legally salvaged animals.
