White-tailed deer; prohibit certain requirements for CWD testing and registration fees for certain enclosures.

HB 1628 would have eliminated registration fees and chronic wasting disease (CWD) testing requirements for deer enclosures that prevent white-tailed deer from freely exiting. It specifically removed the need for owners of such enclosures to pay registration fees, submit deer for CWD testing (including those dying naturally), or test harvested deer from these enclosures. The bill directly affected deer enclosure owners, such as hunting preserves or farms, by reducing regulatory costs and administrative burdens. It repealed a specific CWD testing mandate for deer harvested within enclosed areas. The bill died in committee before becoming law, so these changes were never implemented.
