Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill creates an exemption that allows a person to keep an unregistered animal they harvest if they notify a game warden within 18 hours of the location of the animal and circumstances that prevented the person from registering the animal with a registration station.  Any additional costs to the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife as a result of the exemption are anticipated to be minor and can be absorbed within existing resources.
