What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to award up to $200,000 in grants in the 2021-23 fiscal biennium for the creation of new sites for the disposal of deer carcasses. DNR must prioritize the development of sites in underserved areas that are affected by chronic wasting disease and ensure the greatest geographic distribution of disposal sites. Disposal sites created with a grant award must be accessible to the general public throughout deer hunting season and may not charge any fee for carcass disposal.

An applicant may receive only one grant for a disposal site but may apply for a grant in an amount equal to the applicant's eligible expenses over a three-year period. Eligible expenses include disposal equipment, pickup and disposal of carcasses, site preparation and promotion, and other expenses approved by DNR.
