What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under this bill, if the Department of Natural Resources limits daytime hunting
hours in a manner that applies to the hunting of deer, bear, wild turkey, or small
game, not including pheasants and migratory birds, those limited hours must be 30
minutes before sunrise through 30 minutes after sunset. Under current law, the
hunting hours established by DNR for those animals are generally 30 minutes before
sunrise through 20 minutes after sunset, except that hunting hours for wild turkey
in the spring season close at sunset.
