HF 378: Relating to deer depredation
Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
This bill relates to deer depredation. Under current law, the wild animal depredation unit acts as the liaison to the department of natural resources (DNR) for the producers in the state who suffer crop, horticultural product, tree, or nursery damage. The bill changes the language to apply to producers in the state who suffer economic loss to agriculture, horticulture, or silviculture operations. Under current law, DNR is directed to issue depredation permits to a landowner who incurs crop, horticultural product, tree, or nursery damage of $1,000 or more due to wild animals.
