A bill to amend 1994 PA 451, entitled “Natural resources and environmental protection act,” by amending section 43525c (MCL 324.43525c), as amended by 2021 PA 6.
Mandates that individuals 18 years and older must obtain an annual pheasant hunting license, costing $25.00, to hunt pheasants in Michigan, in addition to a base license. Exemptions are provided for those hunting on licensed game bird preserves, private land (with exceptions), public land in the Upper Peninsula, and holders of certain lifetime licenses. The bill also outlines provisions for the issuance of the license as a stamp, collector purchases, and the management of the fees collected, which are to be deposited into a pheasant subaccount within the game and fish protection account for use in pheasant population management on state land. The section is set to be repealed on January 1, 2031.
