What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to offer in-person and

online hunter education for persons under the age of 18. The bill also requires

persons under the age of 18 to attend an in-person field training session and

complete a certification exam following completion of the in-person or online course

of instruction. The bill also requires DNR to promulgate rules establishing the

curriculum, length, and fee for the courses.

Under current law, DNR must establish a hunter education program and bow

hunter education program that provides instruction in the responsibilities of

hunters, how to recognize threatened and endangered species, and principles of

wildlife management and conservation. DNR is required to offer an online course of

instruction for persons age 18 and older.
