What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, when the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) issues

a person an archer hunting license, a deer hunting license, a bear hunting license,

an elk hunting license, a sports license, or a conservation patron license, DNR also

issues a back tag to be attached to the person's outermost garment when that person

is hunting as authorized by the license. This bill eliminates the requirement that

DNR issue a back tag with any of these licenses and the requirement that the licensee

attach a back tag to any garment while hunting.
