SB2160 regulates deer hunting seasons, permits, and introduces a Hunter Food Bank Stamp to help end hunger in Illinois.
SB2160 amends the Illinois Wildlife Code to establish specific deer hunting seasons, including a special 3-day youth-only season. It allows the Department of Natural Resources to open counties for hunting during a special harvest period if more than five deer removal permit requests were made in the preceding year. The bill also introduces an optional Hunter Food Bank Stamp, with proceeds funding grants to food banks for venison. It mandates that deer taken during special harvest seasons be reported to the General Assembly.
