SB611,1,2
1An Act to create 29.591 (1) (e) of the statutes;
relating to: satisfying the hunter
2education field testing requirement with a mentored hunt.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources must establish a
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. One program offered by DNR requires
individuals to complete an online course of instruction followed by in-person field
testing. This bill provides that an individual may satisfy the in-person field testing
requirement by participating in a mentored hunt.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
