Michigan fully entering wildlife protection effort
LANSING (AP) -- Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has signed legislation aimed at strengthening wildlife protection in the state.
Michigan is fully entering the Wildlife Violator Compact. The state Department of Natural Resources says it now can suspend the hunting, fishing and trapping licenses of poachers who are found in violation in any of the compact's other member states.
The legislation was signed Tuesday. Participating states will be able to suspend the license of their residents who violate Michigan game laws.
Republican Sen. Howard Walker of Traverse City sponsored the legislation. The penalty for not surrendering any licenses would be a misdemeanor.
