This bill proposes to amend current statutes regarding the unlawful feeding of wildlife by adding a new exception. Under the current law, individuals are prohibited from intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly feeding or attracting wildlife, with certain exceptions already in place. The new insertion specifies that placing holiday-related decorations outside of a residence or property is permissible, provided that these decorations are not intended to feed, attract, or entice wildlife.

The specific language to be added to the statute includes the provision that allows for the placement of holiday decorations as an exception to the unlawful feeding of wildlife. This change aims to clarify that such decorations do not constitute a violation of the law, thereby updating the existing legal framework to accommodate seasonal practices without penalizing residents.
