What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources regulates the

hunting, fishing, and trapping of wild animals and is required to promulgate rules

to carry out that function. Under rules promulgated by DNR, a person hunting for

bear, training a bear dog, or hunting deer in specified counties may not place, use,

or hunt over bait or feed that contains or is contained within metal, paper, plastic,

glass, wood, or other similar processed materials. This prohibition does not apply to

bait or feed placed in hollow logs or stumps or to scent materials.

This bill modifies the DNR rule to authorize affixing a processed wood bottom

to a hollow log or stump using adhesive, nails, or screws for the purpose of containing

bait or feed.
