Natural resources: other; wildlife feeding; allow under certain conditions. Amends sec. 40111a of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.40111a).

The defined term changed from 'deer and elk feeding' to 'wildlife and bird feeding.' The definition now covers feed placed in areas frequented by 'white-tailed deer and elk birds and other wildlife' rather than only 'white-tailed deer and elk.' This broadens the scope of the statutory definition to explicitly include birds and other wildlife species.

The bill header changed from 'House BILL NO. 4350' to 'SENATE SUBSTITUTE FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 4350,' reflecting its new procedural status as a Senate substitute. Section numbering was adjusted (subsection renumbered from 3 to 2).

The bill's coverage was expanded from 'deer and elk feeding' to 'wildlife and bird feeding,' meaning the rules now apply to feeding any wild animals, not just deer and elk.

A new subsection requires that any feeding order issued under this section must comply with USDA standards or memoranda of understanding between state and federal agencies pertaining to the control of infectious diseases.

The word 'only' was removed from the phrase describing when an individual may engage in feeding, potentially making the two conditions (300-foot distance and 2-gallon limit) less strictly exclusive.
