The bill, introduced by the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules, seeks to repeal a specific administrative rule of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) concerning the possession of firearms while engaged in fishing activities. Currently, the rule prohibits individuals from possessing or controlling any firearm, gun, or similar device while on the waters, banks, or shores of Wisconsin's inland and outlying waters. This legislation is a response to the suspension of the rule by the Joint Committee on December 17, 2024, as mandated by state statute.

The bill specifically repeals section NR 20.05 (2) of the administrative code, effectively removing the restriction on firearm possession in the specified areas. The act will take effect as outlined in section 227.265 of the statutes, allowing for the immediate implementation of this change in regulation once passed.
