    Representative Smith Statement: Safe Hunting License Act Clears Committee

    MADISON - Rep. Jeff Smith (D-Eau Claire) released the following statement on the Safe
    Hunting License Act (AB 737) being unanimously approved by the Assembly Committee on
    Public Safety:

    “I authored the Safe Hunting License Act to improve hunter safety and make sure our state’s
    proud hunting legacy, dating back over 150 years, is preserved and protected. This bill makes a
    sensible reform to our hunting laws to ensure convicted felons who are not legally allowed to
    possess firearms, cannot obtain a gun hunting license from the DNR. The record number of
    felons who were in the woods with a firearm last year demonstrates the need for the appropriate
    regulatory oversight provided by this legislation. I’m pleased the bill received unanimous
    support by the Public Safety Committee and I urge swift passage by the full Assembly.”
