Assembly Bill 512 passed the Wisconsin Senate and House last month and is waiting to be sent to Governor Tony Evers for consideration.

AB 512 repeals the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) administrative code provision that generally prohibits a person from hunting or pursuing any free-roaming wild animal with the aid of a dog from May 1 to June 30 in a portion of the state north of certain east-west highways. The bills also repeal DNR’s administrative code restrictions on dog training and dog trialing on any free-roaming wild animal in that area and during that period.

As previously reported, Senate Bill 466 is also waiting to be sent to the Governor for consideration.

SB 466 prohibits a financial institution, as part of a payment card transaction, from requiring the use of a merchant category code (MCC) that identifies the merchant as a firearms retailer. The bill also provides that the Department of Justice may not maintain a list of firearm purchasers based on information from background checks that DOJ performs, and that no governmental entity may maintain a list of firearm owners.
