Against Report Date 10/15/2021 Comments Rules exist to keep bad actors at bay. The elimination of rules only emboldens those violating the already lax rules. This bill flies in the face of the "rule of law."

Against Report Date 10/28/2021 Comments The DNR is responsible for hosting stakeholder deliberation, tribal engagement, and public input processes before creating rules around hunting. This arbitrary rule creates a scenario that disregards that process and undermines the DNR authority.
