Bill > H3872

This bill, known as the "Hunting Heritage Protection Act," mandates that the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (DNR) must adopt policies and procedures to ensure that there is no net loss of land acreage available for hunting opportunities on wildlife management areas owned by the department, to the greatest extent practical. The DNR will be required to submit an annual report to specific legislative committees by July 1st, detailing the current acreage available for hunting on these areas and outlining any efforts made to compensate for any loss of hunting opportunities. This act is set to become effective on January 1, 2027.
