What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
