SB 757 - The act adds to the penalties imposed for illegal deer hunting. Under the act, anyone taking a deer with the intent to sell it in a manner contrary to the rules laid out by the conservation commission shall pay restitution to the state; calculations for such payment are detailed in the act. Moneys collected shall go to the conservation commission, twenty-five percent of which may be directed toward grants aimed at promoting anti-poaching programs. Landowners who take deer in a manner contrary to the rules laid out by the commission are exempt from the restitution requirement provided no part of the deer is removed from the resident's property. The act is identical to HB 862 (2003). MEGAN WORD
