Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill requires deer hunting tree stands on public land to be labeled with the owner's identification number and exempts owners from liability for injuries caused by others using their stands. It also allows property owners or drainage districts to alter beaver dams to protect their land and permits fur trappers to use their identification number instead of their name and address on traps. Finally, the bill sets a maximum annual fee of $50 for fur dealer licenses for both residents and non-residents.
