HB 5307 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Natural resources: hunting; certain penalties for failing to report a deer harvest or retain a deer harvest confirmation number; modify. Amends sec. 40118 of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.40118).

HB 5307 amends Michigan's hunting regulations to modify penalties for failing to report a deer harvest or retain a required confirmation number. The bill targets hunters who do not comply with reporting requirements for deer, which is a specific violation under the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act. Key mechanisms include adding or adjusting penalties for this reporting failure, potentially affecting hunters who miss these requirements. The bill does not change penalties for other hunting violations (like taking deer without a permit), which remain detailed in the existing section. (Note: The provided bill text shows existing penalty structures but does not specify the exact amendment language for the reporting requirement change.)
