What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources must establish a

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. One program offered by DNR requires

individuals to complete an online course of instruction followed by in-person field

testing. This bill provides that an individual may satisfy the in-person field testing

requirement by participating in a mentored hunt.
