Hunting impact study runs through 2026

The law takes effect on passage and approval. The Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks studies nonresident impacts on deer and elk hunting. The department must publish a public report by December 1, 2026. Sections 1 and 2 end on December 31, 2026, so the study and reporting duties expire then.
