Louisiana SCR24 modifies regulations concerning chronic wasting disease (CWD) in deer. It defines "apparent prevalence" as the percentage of deer tested for CWD with confirmed positive results within a surveillance season. The bill establishes a five-mile and a 15-mile zone around a confirmed CWD deer, termed the "CWD management zone." Supplemental feeding and baiting are prohibited within these zones, except from September 1st through March 31st, when prevalence is below 1.5% and annual surveillance goals are met.
