LANSING, Mich., (WPBN/WGTU) — Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed multiple bills into law on Tuesday, including one that reduces penalties for hunters who fail to report their deer harvests within 72 hours.
Senate Bill 52, sponsored by Senator John Cherry (D-Flint), reduces the penalty for failing to report a deer harvest or retain a deer harvest confirmation number to a one-time $150 fine.
“Reducing the penalty for failing to report a deer harvest will lower costs for hunters and ensure no one is put in jail for a simple, easily fixable mistake,” Gov. Whitmer said.
The penalty had been a possible misdemeanor resulting in up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $500 paying the costs of prosecution.
