FISCAL NOTE

Senate Bill 189 as introduced will allow for the taking of whitetail deer and feral swine by means of bait. This bill could reduce receipts to the Game and Fish Fund of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources by an estimated $142,500 annually for the amount of fines that would otherwise have been collected for violations, based on the average number of arrests and penalties under the current law.
