What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits the disposal of deer carcasses within 10 miles of a registered

location where farm-raised deer are kept.

Under current law, a person may not dispose of a carcass the person knows is

infected or suspected to be infected with a contagious or infectious disease in a

manner that creates a significant and foreseeable risk of transmitting disease to

humans or animals. A person may not dispose of any animal carcass in the waters

of the state.

Under current law, a person keeping farm-raised deer must register with the

Department of Natural Resources and comply with requirements relating to fencing.

The person must also comply with applicable administrative rules promulgated by

DNR and the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.
