SB 112 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: hunting of sandhill cranes, programs related to sandhill crane damage, providing an exemption from emergency rule procedures, granting rule-making authority, and making an appropriation. (FE)

SB 112 establishes a permit system for hunting sandhill cranes, requiring state approval and federal compliance. It allocates 50% of permit fees to fund crane population management and education, while the remaining 50% supports wildlife damage programs. The bill creates a $1.875 million annual appropriation for reimbursing landowners affected by sandhill crane damage. These changes directly affect hunters (who need permits), landowners (receiving damage reimbursements), and conservation programs managing crane populations.
