Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
