What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill increases the wild animal protection surcharge that a court may

impose when a person unlawfully kills, wounds, catches, takes, traps, or possesses

a deer.

Under current law, if a court imposes a fine or forfeiture for the unlawful killing,

wounding, catching, taking, trapping, or possession of certain wild animals, the

court may impose a wild animal protection surcharge. The statute specifies the

amount of the surcharge allowed for each type of wild animal. Under current law,

the surcharge specified for deer is $43.75. Under this bill, the surcharge specified

for deer is an amount in the court's discretion that is not less than $43.75 and not

more than $5,000.
