What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill limits the time during which the feeding of deer may be prohibited

following a positive test for certain diseases.

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.
