WILDLIFE CD-WILDLIFE RIFLE

Summary

The bill defines a “wildlife rifle” as a center‑fire rifle that can hold at most three rounds in the magazine and chamber combined, and makes any rifle that exceeds that capacity illegal for deer hunting unless permanently altered. It also sets specific ammunition standards, barrel length, and bans certain bullet types, while giving the Department of Natural Resources authority to create detailed hunting seasons, permit fees, and special youth and disease‑management hunts. The changes affect all hunters, firearm manufacturers, and the state wildlife agency.
