HB1111 removes the Department of Game, Fish and Parks' authority to inspect hotels, restaurants, and storage facilities for illegal game and fish, and eliminates immunity protections that previously shielded law enforcement officers from liability when destroying illegal hunting or fishing equipment. The bill keeps the department's core power to seize and dispose of illegally taken wildlife and the tools used to take it, but narrows the scope of inspection authority and removes certain legal protections for officers.
