Fish and Game Code: Enacted in 1957, many of the Fish and Game Code provisions are derived from the 1947 former Fish and Game Code, as well as older statutes under the former Penal and Political Codes originally enacted in 1872. The new statutes relating to more modern topics, such as endangered specifies, were added later. This is a fluid code amending and adjusting older California game laws, for example, to comply with newer protected species lists and regulations.
