What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law, with certain exceptions, requires a person who fishes in the waters of this state to hold a fishing license issued by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). This bill creates an additional exception to the general fishing license requirements under current law. Under the bill, no fishing license is required for a person to fish in a self-contained pond that is located entirely on private property if the owner of the private property gives the person permission to fish in the pond.
Under current law, a person may not control aquatic plants in waters of this state by the use of chemicals without a permit issued by DNR. This bill allows a person to use an algaecide or herbicide in a self-contained pond that is located entirely on the person's private property without obtaining a permit from DNR.
