Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person who owns or operates a sport shooting range is
immune from civil liability relating to noise and is not subject to an action for
nuisance related to noise or to zoning conditions related to noise. Under this bill, bird
hunting preserves that licensed by the Department of Natural Resources are
considered to be sport shooting ranges for purposes of these liability, nuisance, and
zoning provisions.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
AB231, s. 1
