Prevention of chronic wasting disease.

SB 32 requires the Department of Natural Resources to create a pilot program aimed at preventing chronic wasting disease (CWD) in deer populations. The bill directly affects deer management practices and potentially hunters or landowners in areas where CWD is present. Key provisions include establishing this pilot program to test methods for controlling the disease, though specific strategies are not detailed in the abstract. The bill is currently in committee referral after its introduction by Senator Glick on January 8, 2025.
