Bill > HB5834

This bill amends the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to include the gray wolf in the list of animals considered "game," which are animals that can be legally hunted. It also authorizes the establishment of hunting seasons for gray wolves, stating that the legislature finds that managing gray wolf populations through hunting is necessary to minimize conflicts with humans, livestock, and pets. Furthermore, the bill requires individuals to obtain a wolf hunting license to hunt gray wolves, with specific fees set for resident and non-resident licenses, and allows for the issuance of kill tags with these licenses.
