What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill regulates the erection of temporary tree stands used to hunt game

animals. Under the bill, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) may not

prohibit any person from erecting such a tree stand during the applicable open

season if the person holds all of the required hunting approvals, affixes to the tree

stand an identifying number assigned by DNR, and erects not more than four tree

stands during the period beginning on September 1 and ending on the following

December 31. The bill also provides that the tree stand may not be a permanent

structure and must be actively used for the purpose of hunting. Under the bill, if

these requirements are satisfied, DNR may not require the owner of the tree stand

to remove the tree stand before the December 31 immediately following the date on

which the tree stand was erected.
