SB 213 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Prohibiting nonresidents from hunting migratory waterfowl during certain times and places and increasing fees for migratory waterfowl habitat stamps.

SB 213 restricts nonresident hunters from taking migratory waterfowl (ducks, geese, mergansers) on most days during hunting season, allowing only Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays on state lands, federal lands managed by the Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Reclamation, or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at specific locations. It exempts walk-in hunting access areas, navigable rivers in Kansas, and the light geese conservation season. The bill also reduces the fee for migratory waterfowl habitat stamps from $100 to $8. This directly affects nonresident hunters seeking to pursue waterfowl in designated Kansas areas during regulated seasons.
