SB136,1,2
1An Act to create 29.226 (4) of the statutes;
relating to: hunting approvals
2issued to persons born on or after January 1, 1973.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person born on or after January 1, 1973, may not be issued
any type of approval authorizing hunting unless the person has successfully
completed the hunter education and firearm safety course established by the
department of natural resources (DNR). A person who has completed a similar
program in another state or basic training in the U.S. armed forces is exempt from
this requirement.
This bill allows a person who is required to have successfully completed the
DNR course to show that he or she did so by presenting a hunting approval that he
or she was issued in this state within the last year instead of showing the certificate
of completion of the DNR course.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
SB136, s. 1
3Section
