What it does

This bill relates to the taking of fur-bearing animals without prior permission of the natural resource commission (NRC). Under current law, a person may kill, trap, or ensnare a fur-bearing animal outside of the open season if the killing, trapping, or ensnaring is for the protection of a person or public or private property and with the prior permission of a duly appointed representative of NRC. A person may take a fur-bearing animal without receiving prior permission if prior permission is impractical or impossible to obtain and the fur-bearing animal represents a threat to a person, domestic animal, or private property.
