Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill prohibits all hunting in state parks.
Under current law, with certain exceptions, state parks are open to hunting by
persons who hold the appropriate license, permit, or other approval from the
Department of Natural Resources. DNR may prohibit hunting in a state park or a
portion of a state park if the prohibition applies within 100 yards of a designated use
area or if DNR determines that the prohibition is necessary to protect public safety
or a unique animal or plant community.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
