Illinois HB4621 provides free deer hunting permits to SNAP recipients and regulates deer hunting practices.

Illinois HB4621 amends the Wildlife Code to offer free deer hunting permits to residents receiving SNAP assistance. It sets rules for deer hunting, including prohibiting the use of dogs, vehicles, and bait. The bill also establishes a youth-only deer hunting season and limits the number of non-resident archery deer hunting permits. Violators face Class B misdemeanor charges. The Department of Natural Resources can set fees for non-resident permits and establish additional rules for the youth-only season.
