Plain-language change summary

The amendment adds specific language requiring individuals to not only apply for a permit to the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks but also to be permitted by them. This change emphasizes that approval from the department is essential before proceeding with any activities related to enclosures of white-tailed deer. This matters because it strengthens regulatory oversight, ensuring that all enclosures meet necessary standards for animal management and public safety.
