What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources is authorized to

operate state fish hatcheries. DNR may breed and propagate fish species that DNR

determines to be of value and is authorized to distribute and dispose of the fish.

This bill authorizes an organization known as Sturgeon for Tomorrow, Inc., to

request that DNR annually transfer up to 15 carcasses of lake sturgeon culled from

state fish hatcheries to be awarded as prizes in a raffle. The bill requires the

organization to preserve the carcasses for taxidermy and mounting and to provide

to each person who receives a carcass a certificate of transfer. The bill also requires

the organization to use all proceeds from these raffles to promote sturgeon

management, conduct sturgeon habitat management, promote sturgeon

reintroduction, or further sturgeon research.
