Natural resources: hunting; hunting of sandhill cranes; provide for. Amends sec. 40103 of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.40103) & adds sec. 40110c.

HB 5067 adds "sandhill crane" to the list of game species under Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act. It requires the Natural Resources Commission to establish a legal hunting season for sandhill cranes by April 1, 2026, through formal orders. This change directly affects hunters and wildlife management regulations by creating the legal framework for future sandhill crane hunting seasons in Michigan. The bill does not immediately permit hunting but sets the process for when it may begin.
