Senate Bill 460 amends the Parks and Wildlife Code to authorize the Parks and Wildlife Department to issue a permit for the management of the wild mule deer population. The bill establishes conditions for holding such a permit and for receiving compensation for granting a person permission to kill a wild deer on the acreage covered by the permit during a special season with a special bag limit established by the Parks and Wildlife Commission. The bill provides for the duration of the permit and the fees for original and renewal permits. It requires the permit holder to submit annually a deer management plan for approval or disapproval of the department and to meet certain recordkeeping requirements. Department employees are authorized to inspect the required records and the acreage for which the permit is issued to determine the permit holder's compliance with the management plan. The bill provides for the application of general state laws and regulations relating to mule deer to deer on the acreage covered by the permit and establishes penalties ranging from a Class C Parks and Wildlife Code misdemeanor to a Class A Parks and Wildlife Code misdemeanor for violations relating to the permit.
