AB873,1,2
1An Act to create 29.062 of the statutes;
relating to: distribution of seized or
2confiscated fish and game to food distribution services.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the department of natural resources (DNR) must sell any
personal property that is confiscated due to violations of fish and game laws and that
is not destroyed by DNR as authorized by law. This bill authorizes DNR to distribute
for free carcasses from fish or game seized or confiscated due to violations of the fish
and game laws to programs that provide food to low-income persons or the elderly.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
