What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law allows the Department of Natural Resources to manage and

provide funding to conduct testing for chronic wasting disease in cervids. Currently,

DNR administers a program under which it provides self-service chronic wasting

disease sampling kiosks where hunters may drop off deer carcass for sampling. This

bill codifies this program by requiring DNR to establish and administer it and

provides $200,000 in the 2021-23 fiscal biennium for the program. The bill allows

DNR to contract with private entities to conduct the sampling and to pay the private

entity per sample taken.
