What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill repeals a current Department of Natural Resources administrative

code provision that generally prohibits a person from hunting or pursuing any

free-roaming wild animal with the aid of a dog from May 1 to June 30 in a portion

of the state north of certain east-west highways. The bill also repeals DNR

administrative code restrictions on dog training and dog trialing on any free roaming

wild animal in that area and during that period.
