Natural resources: hunting; mentored youth hunting program; modify. Amends secs. 43517 & 43520 of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.43517 & 324.43520).

This bill modifies Michigan's hunting laws to clarify the requirements for minors and adults with developmental or intellectual disabilities who hunt under supervision. It mandates that these individuals must be accompanied by a specific mentor or guardian who meets age and licensing criteria, particularly when the hunter cannot obtain standard hunter safety certification. Additionally, the legislation updates rules for purchasing hunting licenses by requiring proof of prior experience or training for adults born after 1960, while allowing exceptions for apprentice and mentored licenses.
