What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under administrative rules promulgated by the Department of Natural

Resources (DNR), most fishing seasons open on the first Saturday of May. This bill

requires DNR to establish a catch-and-release only season for bass fishing in the

areas of the state where there is not a continuous open season for bass fishing. The

bill requires the catch-and-release only season to begin on the first Saturday in

March and to end on the Sunday preceding the first Saturday in May.
