SB 2271

Abstract

Amends the Wildlife Code. In a Section concerning permits for wild turkey hunting, provides that no charge permits shall be issued to bona fide equity shareholders of a corporation, bona fide equity members of a limited liability company, or bona fide equity partners of a general or limited partnership which owns at least 40 acres of land in a county in Illinois who wish to hunt on the corporation's, company's, or partnership's land only. Sets forth that one permit shall be issued without charge to one bona fide equity shareholder, one bona fide equity member, or one bona fide equity partner for each 40 acres of land owned by the corporation, company, or partnership in a county; however, the number of permits issued without charge to bona fide equity shareholders of any corporation or bona fide equity members of a limited liability company in any county shall not exceed 15, and shall not exceed 3 in the case of bona fide equity partners of a partnership. Provides that "bona fide equity shareholder", "bona fide equity member", and "bona fide equity partner" shall have the same meaning as provided in a statute regarding deer hunting permits.
