What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates the Department of Natural Resources's authority under the

wolf depredation program to make payments for death or injury caused by wolves to

hunting dogs.

Under current law, DNR administers a wolf depredation program under which

it makes payments to persons who apply for reimbursement for death or injury

caused by wolves to livestock, to hunting dogs others than those being actively used

in hunting of wolves, and to pets and for management and control activities

conducted by DNR to reduce damage caused by wolves.
