Michigan Sunday hunting bills need Governor's signature (11/21/2003)
Two bills that will make Sunday hunting in Michigan legal statewide
have passed the legislature and await the governor's signature.
House Bill 4599 repeals local ordinances that ban Sunday hunting on
private land in Hillsdale, Lenawee, St. Clair, and Tuscola counties.
Sponsored by Rep. Randy Richardville, R-Monroe, the bill passed the
House, 88-15, and the Senate, 33-5.
Similarly, HB 4011, introduced by Rep. Gene DeRossett, R-Manchester,
would repeal an act that prohibits Sunday hunting on another person's
property in Washtenaw County. The bill passed the House, 78-27, and the
Senate, 32-5.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources supports HB 4599 and HB
4011.
Take Action! Michigan sportsmen should contact Gov. Jennifer Granholm
and encourage her to sign HB 4599 and HB 4011. The bills create
uniformity in Sunday hunting laws and expand hunting opportunities for
Michigan sportsmen. To contact Gov. Granholm, call (517) 373-3400.
