What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, the Department of Natural Resources is required to establish

a program to award grants to county deer management advisory councils, of up to

$5,400 per council per fiscal year, for the disposal of deer carcasses. A grant under

this program may be used to pay for the costs of contracting to place in that county

no more than six large metal containers in which hunters may dispose of deer

carcasses, including the costs of renting, lining, and transporting the containers and

disposing of the carcasses. Under the bill, a county deer management advisory

council is eligible for a grant if DNR has confirmed a test revealing chronic wasting

disease in a wild elk or deer in that county or in an adjacent county within ten miles

of their shared border.
