Introduced
by
To revise the requirement that ice fishing shanties must have the owner’s name and address affixed to each side, by allowing either the owner's drivers license number or fishing license number instead. Also, to allow the Department of Natural Resources to determine the date each year when shanties must be removed from the ice based on actual weather and ice conditions. Current law sets fixed removal dates, instead of prescribing these dates in statute.
Referred to the Committee on Natural Resources
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (H-2) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Amendment offered
by
To repeal a law that makes leaving a shanty on the ice after the deadline a misdemeanor, and that requires the owner to pay three times the cost of removing it. Instead this would only be a civil offense with a $100 fine, and the owner would only have to pay the cost of removal, not three times that amount.
