Catch Title:
Game
bird farms raising sage grouse.

Subject:
Rearing and release of native sage grouse by
private game bird farms.

Summary/Major Elements:

The
budget bill in 2008 required the game and fish commission to develop
rules, regulations and procedures to allow private bird farms in this
state to raise native sage grouse for release.

This act follows up on that
provision by requiring the commission to report to the travel, recreation,
wildlife and cultural resources committee by August 31, 2009 regarding those
rules.

It also prohibits the rearing
and release of native sage grouse under a private game bird license until
authorized by legislation enacted after April 1, 2009; i.e., until after the
next scheduled legislative session.

Comments:

The
2008 budget bill footnote requiring the game and fish commission to develop
rules allowing for private bird farms to raise native sage grouse for release
was amended in the 2009 budget bill to instead require the game and fish
department to report to the travel, recreation, wildlife and cultural resources
committee by October 1, 2009 on the latest research regarding artificial
propagation of sage grouse and make a recommendation regarding the feasibility
of captive breeding of sage grouse.
