This bill repeals certain provisions of law related to special regulations regarding deer hunting season that are now redundant due to that language being placed in Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife rule. This bill also reorganizes certain laws regarding rulemaking related to open and closed seasons for deer hunting and clarifies the distinctions between the expanded archery season and a special hunting season and corrects cross- references. It also creates a Freedom of Access Act public records exemption by making location data regarding species of special concern confidential in statute, just as location data regarding threatened and endangered species are.
