What it does

The legislature's own summary of the bill, or its official long title.

Amends the Wildlife Code. Authorizes the Department of Natural Resources to issue a Nuisance Wildlife Control Permit not only to any person who is providing nuisance wildlife control services for a fee or compensation, but also to any person who solicits customers for themselves or on behalf of a nuisance wildlife control permit holder for a fee or compensation. Provides that a drainage district or road district or the designee of a drainage district or road district is exempt from the requirement to obtain a permit to control nuisance muskrats or beavers if certain requirements are met.
