This bill prohibits the disposal of deer carcasses within 10 miles of a registered
location where farm-raised deer are kept.
Under current law, a person may not dispose of a carcass the person knows is
infected or suspected to be infected with a contagious or infectious disease in a
manner that creates a significant and foreseeable risk of transmitting disease to
humans or animals. A person may not dispose of any animal carcass in the waters
of the state.
Under current law, a person keeping farm-raised deer must register with the
Department of Natural Resources and comply with requirements relating to fencing.
The person must also comply with applicable administrative rules promulgated by
DNR and the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.
