This bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to offer in-person and

persons under the age of 18 to attend an in-person field training session and
complete a certification exam following completion of the in-person or online course
of instruction. The bill also requires DNR to promulgate rules establishing the
curriculum, length, and fee for the courses.
Under current law, DNR must establish a hunter education program and bow
hunter education program that provides instruction in the responsibilities of
hunters, how to recognize threatened and endangered species, and principles of
wildlife management and conservation. DNR is required to offer an online course of
instruction for persons age 18 and older.
