1An Act to amend 167.31 (2) (d); and
to create 167.31 (4) (g) of the statutes;
2relating to: fishing with a bow and arrow near a roadway.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, with certain exceptions, no person may shoot an arrow from
a bow from or across a highway or within 50 feet of the center of a roadway. This bill
permits a person to shoot an arrow from a bow within 50 feet of the center of a
roadway if the person does so while fishing with a bow and arrow. The bill does not
affect the current law provision that prohibits a person from shooting an arrow from
a bow from or across a highway.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
