Illinois HB2339 modifies deer hunting regulations to manage chronic wasting disease.
Illinois HB2339 amends the Wildlife Code to modify deer hunting regulations. It specifies that if the Department of Natural Resources uses its sharpshooting program to manage chronic wasting disease in a deer herd and no cases of the disease have been identified in that herd for three consecutive years, the program will be ended in that area or county. However, the program can be reinstated if chronic wasting disease is detected again. The bill also sets specific dates for bow and arrow hunting seasons and outlines the types of firearms and ammunition allowed.
