You guys also need to keep tabs on SB271. This will be another common theme I'm afraid.


Something similar to this 271 has been introduced in the past, hasn't it?

Are there other states with Ag and DNR departments merged like this?


There are some that have made that transition. None have been for the better. Ag & Industry / Ag & Forestry agencies rarely have any enforcement wing. Ours doesn't and is already underfunded.

It has been used in other states to get breeders out from under the purview of Wildlife agencies. Not sure of the intent here but that isn't a desirable outcome.
