AN ACT relating to fish and wildlife and declaring an emergency.
signed by Governor (Acts Ch. 93)
Summary
The bill amends Kentucky wildlife law so owners of private lakes, ponds, and farmland can fish on their property without a state sport fishing license, and can extend that right to others in writing. It adds a series of exemptions for children, certain military personnel, and for landowners dealing with wildlife that damages property, while also setting rules for bass stocking and reciprocal hunting rights with neighboring states. The changes aim to give landowners more flexibility while preserving state oversight of wildlife management.
