  The open season for all migratory game birds in the state of Colorado shall be the same as that fixed, or as may be fixed, under the administrative provisions of the federal “Migratory Bird Treaty Act”, 16 U.S.C. sec. 703 to 711, as amended. Any change made by the United States department of the interior, fish and wildlife service, or any new ruling made by the secretary of the interior under said act which is applicable to the state of Colorado shall be in effect in the state of Colorado and shall be enforced by the division. The term “migratory birds” includes birds defined as such under the administrative provisions of said “Migratory Bird Treaty Act” and regulations adopted pursuant to the provisions of said act.      The commission shall issue licenses in accordance with its regulations to permit the possession of raptors for falconry and captive breeding purposes and to encourage individual efforts to propagate the species. The commission shall actively pursue the establishment of reciprocal agreements with other states and Canada as a signatory to the “Migratory Bird Treaty Act”, which agreements shall allow for the taking, use, and transportation of raptors from each respective area by qualified and licensed applicants.    Applicants from other states or Canadian provinces or territories which are signatories to the “Migratory Bird Treaty Act” and have reciprocal raptor agreements with Colorado may obtain nonthreatened raptors in reasonable numbers commensurate with raptor populations within this state. The commission may issue nonresident take licenses to such applicants, and the fees for such licenses shall be equivalent to the fees for comparable licenses in the states, provinces, or territories with which Colorado holds such agreements.    It is the intent of the general assembly for the commission to make the rules of this state conform to or be more stringent than the provisions of the “Migratory Bird Treaty Act”, as amended, and the “Endangered Species Act of 1973”, as amended. These rules may include, but not be limited to, captive breeding and the use of domestic captive bred raptors and the purchase, sale, transportation, importation, exportation, or exchange of raptors with persons having like licenses.

 The state of Colorado through the division assents to the provisions of the act of congress entitled “An Act to provide that the United States shall aid the states in wildlife restoration projects, and for other purposes.”, approved September 2, 1937, and as amended. The division is authorized to perform such acts as may be necessary to conduct and establish cooperative wildlife restoration projects, as defined in such act, in compliance with such act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the secretary of the interior thereunder. No moneys or funds accruing to the division pursuant to such act shall be used for any purpose other than for such projects and the administration of the division, but the division may pay into the general fund as a part of its administrative costs a reasonable rental or service charge, as it may determine, for office quarters and auditing, bookkeeping, and like services furnished to the division by the state. All moneys now in the wildlife cash fund, or accrued or accruing to or received or receivable by the division, pursuant to such act shall be appropriated to pay for the administrative expense of such division for the protection, preservation, restoration, and control of wildlife of the state and to cover expenses in enforcing the wildlife laws of the state. Such moneys are to be expended upon a voucher approved by the director or an employee of the department authorized by the executive director and a warrant drawn by the controller.   History.

ANNOTATION   This section complies with the requirements of the federal Pittman-Robertson act. The plain language of the statute requires the department of wildlife to act in compliance with the Pittman-Robertson act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the secretary of interior under the act. Therefore, this section incorporates by reference all statutory and regulatory requirements of the Pittman-Robertson act. To require Colorado to include all possible violations of the act and its supporting rules and regulations would encourage “legislative loopholes”. Sportsmen's Wildlife Def. Fund v. Romer, 29 F.
