Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to Bill SB 276 include a significant change regarding deer and elk baiting. The bill states that any current ban on baiting will be lifted starting April 1, 2026, allowing this practice to resume. This matters because it could affect wildlife management and hunting practices, potentially impacting both deer populations and the interests of hunters. Additionally, there are also adjustments to licensing fees, with a combination hunt and fish license now being raised from $265 to $355, which could influence participation in these activities.
