Introduced

To establish a state program to collect donations of legally taken game from licensed hunters and distribute them or other food to people in need. Also, to require hunting licenses sales agents to ask whether a person buying a license would like to donate $1.00 to the program, and if so, to collect the donation with the license fee. Note: Several private organizations already collect and distribute wild game to the needy without government assistance, including <a href="http://www.sportsmenagainsthunger.org/index.html">Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger</a> and <a href="http://www.tednugent.com/about_tnusa/hunters_hungry.shtml">”Hunters for the Hungry”</a>.
