What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits all hunting in state parks.

Under current law, with certain exceptions, state parks are open to hunting by

persons who hold the appropriate license, permit, or other approval from the

Department of Natural Resources. DNR may prohibit hunting in a state park or a

portion of a state park if the prohibition applies within 100 yards of a designated use

area or if DNR determines that the prohibition is necessary to protect public safety

or a unique animal or plant community.
