The bill amends the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act by updating the regulations surrounding fur harvester's licenses in Michigan. It specifies that individuals are not required to possess a fur harvester's license when participating in a bobcat hunt with a licensed hunter, provided they do not carry a firearm, bow, or crossbow, and do not own dogs for the hunt. Additionally, the bill introduces a provision allowing individuals with a fur harvester's license to hunt coyotes year-round.

The bill also removes several provisions related to the fees for fur harvester's licenses, including the previous fee structure for resident and nonresident minors, and the conditions under which nonresident licenses could be issued. It clarifies that only individuals holding a valid base license are eligible to purchase a fur harvester's license and maintains the fee for the license at $15. The amendments aim to streamline the licensing process and clarify hunting regulations for fur-bearing animals in the state.
