Relating to: the offering of deer to a meat processing facility for provision to a food pantry.
SB 680 allows hunters who legally take deer in Wisconsin's central farmland zone to exchange the deer for gift cards to local businesses. The gift cards fund meat processing facilities to prepare the deer meat, which is then distributed to food pantries through established food distribution services. This bill directly affects hunters in designated zones, local businesses selling gift cards, meat processors, and food pantries serving communities. It creates a new legal pathway to redirect legally harvested deer meat to food assistance programs using a gift card incentive system.
