Summary

The law lets Illinois residents who own or rent at least 40 acres (or 20 acres in counties with chronic wasting disease) receive deer and turkey permits at no cost, as long as they hunt only on the land they control. It sets limits on how many permits a person can have and lets the Department of Natural Resources determine overall permit numbers and any fees for non‑residents. The bill also adds a definition for “captive‑reared” wildlife and creates a $25 annual dealer permit for selling processed wild game.
