HB 6008 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Natural resources: hunting; gray wolf hunting and trapping season; provide for. Amends sec. 40110b of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.40110b).

This bill proposes to allow the Michigan Natural Resources Commission to establish the first official hunting and trapping seasons for gray wolves statewide. It authorizes the commission to create these seasons within 90 days of certain related laws becoming active, aiming to manage wolf populations and reduce conflicts with humans and livestock. The legislation directly affects hunters, trappers, and wildlife managers by setting the legal framework for future wolf harvests. However, the bill includes a condition that it will not take effect unless a separate companion bill regarding wolf management is also passed by the legislature.
