AI Summary

This bill amends Section 504 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to clarify and extend the "no net loss" policy for Department of Natural Resources (DNR) hunting acreage. Specifically, it requires the DNR to manage land under its control to ensure there is no net loss of acreage open to hunting, except for reasons related to public safety, wildlife management, or homeland security. The bill also extends this "no net loss" requirement to include commercial forestland under the DNR's control. The bill also requires the DNR to submit an annual report to the legislature on any changes in hunting access on the department's lands.
