Illinois Bobcat Hunting Bill Clears House Hurdle

Illinois Bobcat Hunting Bill Clears House Hurdle 





Above is the roll call vote for HB 352.  


Today House Bill (HB) 352 "Bobcat Hunting Bill" cleared another hurdle.  It passed 62 to 43.

You may recall that a similar bill passed both the house and senate last year during the 98th general assembly. Governor Pat Quinn veto that bill on January 11, 2015.

The house bill's counter part SB 106 was placed on the Senate Calendar on April 16, 2015

HB 352 creates a Bobcat Hunting season to be regulated by the IDNR.  A maximum of 500 permits will be issued each season for $5 a permit.

This $5 dollar fee will add up to $2500 to the Wildlife and Fishing Fund.

You can read the HB 352 and SB 106 in its entirety.
