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