To require the Department of Natural Resources to keep land under its control open to hunting unless it determines that the land should be closed because of public safety, fish or wildlife management, or homeland security concerns; require it to manage land under its control to support and promote hunting opportunities; and require it to manage the land to prevent any net decrease in the acreage open to hunting. Annual reports would be required on any land opened or closed to hunting during the previous year.
