A bill for an act relating to wildlife, including the treatment of beaver dams, identification for traps, snares, and tree stands, maximum fur dealer license fees, and deer depredation, and making penalties applicable.
Signed by Governor. S.J. 1030.
Summary
The bill mandates that any tree stand placed on public land for hunting deer display a metal plate with the owner’s department‑issued ID number, and it limits the liability of stand owners. It also allows property owners or drainage districts to breach or alter beaver dams to protect their land, requires metal tags with ID numbers on all traps and snares, and sets a maximum annual fur dealer license fee of $50. These changes aim to improve wildlife management, simplify compliance, and reduce costs for dealers.
