Hunter and Fisherman Interference Bill

HB 2546 - Amends the Department of Natural Resources (Conservation) Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois and the Hunter Interference Prohibition Act. Changes the name of the Hunter Interference Prohibition Act to the Hunter and Fishermen Interference Prohibition Act. Clarifies that the renamed Act applies to the taking of aquatic life as well as wildlife.


In the past the laws only effected interference of hunting activities, this bill would change that to include fishing as well. It also provides that a court can award damages to include punitive, and also award repayment of travel, license, and other fees related to a hunt or fishing activity that was interfered with.

Keep it honest, to the point, and civil. Most of all keep it pointed in a safe direction.
