What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP)

administers the laws that regulate farm-raised deer of any species and that require

the registration of owners of farmed-raised deer. Under current law, an owner of a

deer farm may charge a fee for hunting deer on the farm only if the deer to be hunted

are confined in a contiguous area of 80 acres or more. Current law provides an

exemption to this requirement if the deer farm had a deer farm license issued by the

Department of Natural Resources (DNR) under previous law that was in effect on

December 30, 2002, if the contiguous area is not smaller than the area authorized

under the DNR license, and if other requirements are met. This bill expands this

exemption to include areas that are less than 80 acres but that are part of a deer farm

that is larger than 80 acres if the area that is less than 80 acres is not smaller than

it was on December 31, 2002.
