What’s in it
This bill relates to the identification and use of tree stands for hunting deer placed on public land. The bill requires that a stand placed on public land for hunting deer be affixed with and exhibit a metal plate that plainly shows the hunting license number of the owner of the stand. The metal plate must be affixed on the front of the foot platform of the stand on the third step up from the ground. An owner who does not properly identify a tree stand placed on public land belonging to the owner is subject to a scheduled fine of $20.
Read the full explanation
The bill provides that an owner of a tree stand placed on public land shall not be held liable for damage to personal property or an injury resulting from another person’s use of the tree stand. The natural resource commission shall adopt rules to implement the provisions of the bill.
