What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to

promulgate rules to establish a program to authorize and regulate fishing

tournaments. Current law specifies certain rules that DNR may promulgate for the

regulation of fishing tournaments, including rules specifying the length and

frequency of fishing tournaments, the species of fish that may be caught and the bag

and size limits that will apply. Current statutory law also prohibits a person from

possessing a type of fish in excess of the bag limit for that type of fish.

This bill specifically authorizes culling at bass fishing tournaments and

exempts the culling from any applicable bag limits imposed by statute or rule.
