The bill amends section 40111a of the 1994 PA 451, which governs environmental protection and natural resource management in Michigan. It establishes guidelines for deer and elk feeding, allowing individuals to engage in wildlife and bird feeding under specific conditions. These conditions include that the feed must be located within 300 feet of a residence and the total quantity of feed must not exceed 2 gallons. Additionally, any feeding order issued must comply with USDA standards regarding infectious disease control.

The bill clarifies the definition of wildlife and bird feeding, distinguishing it from activities such as baiting for game or practices related to normal logging and agriculture. It specifies that agricultural feed storage and usage are exempt from the feeding regulations if certain criteria are met, such as the presence of livestock or measures taken to prevent access by wild deer and elk. The act is set to take immediate effect upon approval.
