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 bill does not alter any existing provisions of the law but simply expands the list of exceptions to include holiday decorations. This change aims to clarify that such decorations do not constitute unlawful feeding of wildlife, thereby allowing residents to celebrate holidays without the concern of violating wildlife feeding regulations.
