HB 1576 (3)

Baker

Act re recreational hunting on DCNR lands

 

 

PLS Summary:

(PN 1977) The Hunting Heritage Protection Act would require Department managed lands to be open to access and use for recreational hunting. The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources would not be required to give hunting a priority over other uses of the land, but the Department must ensure that their actions, to the greatest practical extent, do not result in a net loss of acreage for hunting. The Secretary would be required to report to the General Assembly by October 1 of each year on the acreage administered by the Department that has been closed during the previous year to recreational hunting and the reasons for the closures and the acreage administered by the Department that was opened to recreational hunting to compensate for acreage closed.
