Natural resources: hunting; free antlerless deer permit; provide for. Amends sec. 43527a of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.43527a).
HB 4206 modifies Michigan's deer hunting regulations by allowing hunters with a valid base license to obtain two antlerless deer permits annually at no cost, effective March 1, 2014. The bill also establishes a $5 nonrefundable application fee for additional antlerless permits and requires kill tags (with license numbers) to be issued with each permit. It permits residents to purchase a second deer license (without senior discounts) and nonresidents to buy additional licenses for $170, with department-designated hunting zones. This directly affects Michigan hunters holding base licenses, reducing their cost for antlerless permits while maintaining standard licensing fees for regular licenses.
