What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, it is public nuisance to allow a decoy to be left unattended in a body of water. This bill specifies that the Department of Natural Resources may not prohibit certain decoys to be left unattended in water and that leaving such decoys is not a public nuisance. Under the bill, a decoy may be left unattended in water if it is placed in the water to aid persons engaged in hunting migratory game birds, if the water is landlocked, and if the water is entirely confined on the private property of only one property owner.
