1 AN ACT to amend 23.47 (2); and to create 23.47 (1) (e) of the statutes; relating
2 to: electronic issuance of dog training licenses.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to offer dog training
licenses for purchase through the electronic system DNR uses for the purchase of
hunting and other approvals (known as GoWild).
Current law authorizes DNR to maintain an electronic system for the issuance
of hunting and other approvals and safety certificates relating to the operation of
outdoor recreational vehicles.
Under current law, DNR issues licenses that authorize the holder to purchase,
possess, release, and hunt specified animal species for the purpose of training a dog
to retrieve, point, flush, and track game.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
3 SECTION 1. 23.47 (1) (e) of the statutes is created to read:
4 23.47 (1) (e) A dog training license under s. 169.20.
5 SECTION 2. 23.47 (2) of the statutes is amended to read:
