SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)
Deer fences. Prohibits a landowner from erecting a fence that prevents or impedes deer from leaving the enclosed area. The bill also makes it unlawful to hunt deer in such enclosed areas. The provisions of the bill do not apply to persons hunting in an enclosure that has been constructed prior to July 1, 2001, has been registered with the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, and has been modified in a manner approved by the Department. The penalty for violating either of these provisions is a Class 1 misdemeanor and the court may (i) suspend the violator's hunting privileges for a period of three to five years, (ii) order the owner of the property to compensate the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries for the replacement costs of the killed deer, and (iii) order the owner to modify the fence in a way that will allow the deer to leave the enclosed area.
