What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
