What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) issues bird hunting preserve licenses that authorize the possession of captive game birds. These include pheasants of certain species, quail that are native to the western hemisphere (new world quail), and certain species of partridge. Each bird hunting preserve license specifies the species of game birds that are covered by the license.
A bird hunting preserve license also authorizes the holder of the license to introduce and release game birds for the purpose of establishing a population in an area of the state where the game bird is not naturally present. In addition, the license authorizes the propagation, sale, and purchase of the game birds and the hunting of the birds on the preserve by the licensee and other activities authorized by the licensee (licensed activities).

Current law authorizes DNR to promulgate rules to establish additional requirements that must be met before game birds are brought into the state for introduction or before they are released. Current law also authorizes DNR to promulgate and enforce rules relating to the care, treatment, and feeding of these birds, and to conduct inspections in order to enforce the laws related to bird hunting preserves. This bill transfers from DNR to the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection the authority to promulgate these rules and conduct these inspections as they relate to possession and introduction of new world quail and other licensed activities related to new world quail.
