SB 42 Fox or coyote; penalty to erect, maintain, or operate an enclosure for purpose of hunting with dogs.
Introduced by: David W. Marsden | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Penning of fox or coyote; penalty. Makes it a Class 1 misdemeanor for any person to erect or maintain an enclosure for the purpose of pursuing, hunting, or killing a fox or coyote with dogs. Until July 1, 2054, the bill exempts from the ban any foxhound training preserve that was operating under a permit issued by the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries as of January 1, 2014. The bill also directs the Department to adopt regulations to limit the total number of foxes stocked annually to 900, to be allocated in proportion to the acreage of each operating preserve. Finally, the bill provides that the Department shall not deny a permit solely on the basis of recordkeeping failures and that any permit denial shall constitute a case decision under the Administrative Process Act. The Department is exempt from the Act under current law.
