Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

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.
