On Wednesday, May 21, at noon in House Office Building room 519, the House Natural Resources and Tourism is scheduled to hear two sportsmen-related bills.
Five years ago, the Michigan pheasant release program was established, but unfortunately that program came with a sunset clause that takes effect January 1, 2026. HB 4401 would repeal that sunset clause leaving the Michigan pheasant release program in place for future generations.
HB 4285 requires the Michigan Department of Education to work with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to make a model program of firearm safety instruction available to schools as an elective course for in grades 6 to 12. The course would be taught by an individual who has been certified as a hunter safety instructor by the DNR and include at least the following topics: proper usage and handling of firearms, safe cleaning and maintenance of firearms, different types of firearms, and safe hunting practices.
