What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources may regulate the hunting of bears and issues bear hunting licenses and carcass tags. In addition to any other bear hunting license issued by DNR, current law requires DNR to issue two certificates for bear hunting licenses (commonly known as governor's bear tags) to the Wisconsin Bear Hunters' Association, which must award one certificate as a raffle prize and one certificate at public auction. The recipient of one of these certificates is entitled to a bear hunting license and carcass tag that is valid for one bear hunting season.
Under current law, a person may receive a bear hunting license through this process only once in his or her lifetime. This bill eliminates that restriction.
