What’s in it

AI summary People would be allowed to kill or trap coyotes, raccoons, opossums, skunks, or groundhogs to control them as pests without asking for permission first. If someone uses this rule to take a fur-bearing animal, they must either leave the animal on the property where it was taken or give it to a representative from the natural resource commission.1

Read the official explanation

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. Under the bill, a person may take a coyote, raccoon, opossum, skunk, or groundhog without receiving prior permission if the taking is for nuisance-control purposes.87 shall be disposed of onsite or shall be relinquished to a representative of the commission.
