AI Summary

  • Renames the annual pheasant hunting license to the "pheasant and grassland restoration stamp" while maintaining the $25.00 fee for individuals 18 years or older hunting pheasants on public land in the Lower Peninsula.

  • Exempts hunters on private land (except hunting access program land), game bird preserve hunters, Upper Peninsula hunters, and lifetime license holders from the stamp requirement.

  • Directs stamp fee revenue to a pheasant subaccount with 50% allocated to purchasing and releasing live pheasants on state lands and 50% for grassland habitat restoration, purchase, and management.

  • Allows the subaccount to retain unspent funds at fiscal year-end with all remaining money transferred to the general game and fish protection account on January 1, 2026.

  • Sunsets the entire section effective January 1, 2026, eliminating the stamp requirement and subaccount at that date.
