The legislation instructs the Director of the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries to establish a website where a landowner may register property and establish hunting conditions and where a person may apply on a first-come, first-served basis to be designated on a written authorization to kill deer or bear damaging the property. The Director is required to pay the landowner at least half of the fee charged to the designated person. Read the Bill »
