expand the safety zone within which hunting and trapping are restricted.

HB 1236 expands the safety zone around certain areas where hunting and trapping are currently restricted. This change directly affects hunters and trappers in South Dakota by modifying the geographic boundaries where these activities are prohibited. The bill adjusts the existing regulations to create a larger protected area, ensuring that wildlife management zones remain undisturbed by recreational hunting and trapping. By increasing the size of these restricted zones, the legislation aims to provide greater protection for specific wildlife populations and their habitats.
