Illinois SB3063 bans contests aimed at killing fur-bearing mammals for cash, prizes, or other incentives.

Illinois SB3063 amends the Wildlife Code to prohibit organizing, sponsoring, promoting, conducting, or participating in contests, competitions, tournaments, or derbies focused on killing fur-bearing mammals for cash, prizes, or other inducements. Exceptions include field trials, wildlife damage control activities, and lawful hunting or trapping activities, provided they do not occur during such contests. Violators face Class A misdemeanor charges and fines. The bill also outlines penalties for other wildlife-related offenses, including fines and potential felony charges for repeat offenders.
