Relating to: restrictions on baiting deer in counties based on chronic wasting disease or bovine tuberculosis.

This bill updates Wisconsin laws regarding when deer baiting is prohibited in counties where chronic wasting disease or bovine tuberculosis has been found. It requires that bans on baiting be based only on confirmed cases in free-roaming animals and limits how long these bans can last. Specifically, baiting restrictions cannot extend more than three years after a positive test in a county where the disease was found, or more than two years in counties within 10 miles of such a case. These changes aim to clarify the criteria for enforcing deer baiting rules while setting specific time limits on those restrictions.
