Bill > SB0366

This bill amends Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to modify regulations around fur harvester's licenses and hunting of fur-bearing animals, specifically coyotes. The bill eliminates previous provisions about license fees for residents and nonresidents, simplifies licensing requirements, and notably introduces a key provision allowing individuals with a fur harvester's license to hunt coyotes year-round. The bill maintains that only individuals with a valid base license can purchase a fur harvester's license, and sets the license fee at $15.00. Additionally, for nonresident license holders, the fur harvester's license will not be valid for fur-bearing species with established bag limits. These changes streamline hunting regulations and provide more flexibility for hunters, particularly regarding coyote hunting, which can now be conducted throughout the entire year by those holding the appropriate license.
