The Honorable, The Legislature:
As directed by s.
29.889(11), Stats., the Department of Natural Resources has prepared a report to the Legislature regarding the Wildlife Damage Abatement and Claims Program for the 2002 program year, ending December 31, 2002. Said statute directs distribution to "appropriate standing committees of the legislature in the manner provided under s.
13.172(3), Stats.". In compliance with these requirements, and because you are more apt to determine "appropriate standing committees", I am submitting this report to you, the Chief Clerks of the Senate and Assembly, for distribution.
Sincerely,
