What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law requires the Department of Natural Resources to promulgate rules that prohibit feeding deer for hunting or viewing purposes in certain counties, including counties in which a positive test for chronic wasting disease (CWD) or bovine tuberculosis (BT) has been confirmed in any captive or free-roaming domestic or wild animal after December 31, 1997, and in any county in which the county or a portion of the county is within a ten-mile radius of the known location of that animal (neighboring county). This bill provides that, after any positive test for CWD or BT has been confirmed, the rule prohibiting feeding deer may not be in effect for longer than 36 months in the county where the tested animal was located or longer than 24 months in neighboring counties.
