What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, in areas other than in chronic wasting disease (CWD) zones

or certain areas where there is a risk of CWD, a person may feed deer for viewing

purposes if the site is within 50 yards of a business open to the public or an

owner-occupied residence, if the site is not less than 100 yards from a roadway that

has a posted speed limit of more than 45 miles per hour, if not more than two gallons

of feed are present at the feeding site, and if the feed does not contain any animal

parts or byproducts. This bill imposes an additional condition by allowing feeding

for viewing only during the period beginning on the day following the last day of the

regular firearm deer hunting season and ending on the following Labor Day.
