NC S76

Directs the Wildlife Resources Commission to repeal its regulation banning night hunting of coyotes in certain coastal counties and apply night hunting rules statewide.

Requires the Commission to implement night hunting rules for coyotes in every county of the State to the extent allowed by federal law, rather than only in specified coastal counties.

Mandates the Commission adopt a permanent rule amendment consistent with expanded statewide night hunting provisions, with the rule substantively identical to the bill's requirements.

Exempts the rule adoption from standard rulemaking procedures under Chapter 150B of the General Statutes, allowing it to become effective as though 10 or more written objections had been received.

Becomes effective upon enactment and expires when the permanent rules adopted by the Commission become effective.
