AB 1076 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: sharp-tailed grouse hunting permits and making an appropriation. (FE)

AB 1076 modifies rules for sharp-tailed grouse hunting permits in Wisconsin. It directs $7 from each permit fee toward managing the species and funding research (Section 1). The bill updates the permit allocation system: applicants earn preference points for past unissued permits, with random selection within categories if demand exceeds supply (Section 2), and requires the department to allocate permits between residents and nonresidents based on applicant numbers (Section 3). It also adjusts permit processing fees to $2.75 for some licenses and $9.75 for sharp-tailed grouse permits (Sections 4-5).
