Final Passage·7/3/26

Michigan HB4350 allows wildlife and bird feeding under specific conditions to prevent starvation or for recreational viewing.

Michigan HB4350 amends the state's natural resources law to allow wildlife and bird feeding under certain conditions. This feeding is permitted to prevent starvation or for recreational viewing. It excludes activities like baiting to take game, scattering feed from normal logging or agricultural practices, and storing feed for agricultural purposes. Feeding is allowed if it is within 300 feet of a residence and does not exceed 2 gallons. This law aims to balance wildlife conservation with public recreational activities.
