Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the shining of most wild animals is prohibited with certain exceptions. One of those exceptions provides that the prohibition does not apply to a person who possesses or uses a light while using a bow and arrow for taking rough fish on lakes that are not outlying waters. Under this bill, this exception applies to the taking of rough fish on any waters of this state.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
