AI Summary
This bill amends Section 40113a of the Michigan Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to grant the Natural Resources Commission exclusive authority to regulate sport fishing and the taking of game in the state. The bill emphasizes the importance of sound scientific management of fish and wildlife populations, including bear populations, to minimize human-bear encounters and protect public safety. It also declares that hunting, fishing, and the taking of game are a valued part of Michigan's cultural heritage and that citizens have a right to engage in these activities, subject to the regulations and restrictions prescribed by the Commission. The bill will take effect 90 days after it is enacted into law, and is tied to the enactment of two other related Senate bills.
