Overview
This bill allows local law enforcement officers to participate in community-based deer management plans. It enables county boards of agriculture, municipal governing bodies, airport owners, and county governing bodies to apply for permits to use alternative deer control methods in designated ‘special deer management areas.’ These plans must detail the methods, notify the public, and ensure public safety, and require landowner consent for access. The bill also clarifies that local law enforcement officers can be designated as ‘authorized agents’ to administer these control methods.
