What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates the requirement that the Department of Natural Resources

(DNR) establishes the open season for hunting raccoon earlier for residents than for

nonresidents.

Under current law, DNR issues resident and nonresident hunting licenses that

authorize the hunting of raccoon. DNR is required to establish the open season for

hunting raccoon two weeks earlier for persons with resident licenses than for persons

with nonresident licenses. This bill eliminates that requirement.
