15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The legislative priority is the amendment of the Hunting Act (Draft Bill 567). This amendment aims to grant individuals holding a hunting license the right to cull problem animals—those that damage property or endanger life—without needing a separate hunting permit. The speaker initiated this draft bill and is a strong proponent of it. He also drew attention to the damage cormorants are causing to the fishing industry as another significant issue requiring regulatory action.
