Relating to: agricultural damage caused by elk.
SB 1007 creates new statutes to address agricultural damage caused by elk. It requires the department to include agricultural landowners affected by elk damage on an advisory committee (29.016(4)), mandates elk causing property damage be removed within 48 hours of notice (29.885(3)(e)), and exempts elk damage claims from requiring hunting access (29.889(7m)(au)). The bill directly affects farmers and ranchers whose crops or property are damaged by elk. These provisions aim to streamline damage response and improve representation for impacted landowners.
