WILDLIFE-NO ENCLOSED HUNTING                                               

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Use Tax Act, the Service  Use  Tax  Act,  the  Service      
   Occupation  Tax  Act,  the  Retailers'  Occupation  Tax  Act,  and the      
   Wildlife Code.  Amends the Wildlife Code to provide that a person  may      
   not  hunt  an animal in a man-made enclosure, nor may a person confine      
   an animal in such an enclosure or receive financial or other gain from      
   such confinement  of  an  animal  for  the  purpose  of  providing  an      
   opportunity  to hunt the animal.  Provides that a violation is a Class      
   A misdemeanor and subject to a fine of not less than $500 and not more      
   than $5,000,  except  that  a  person  who  receives  gain  from  such      
   confinement  of  an  animal  may be fined an amount equal to twice the      
   amount of the gain  received  by  the  person.   Repeals  a  provision      
   authorizing  exotic  game  hunting area permits.  Amends the State use      
   and occupation tax Acts to remove tax  exemptions  for  game  or  game      
   birds  purchased  at  an  exotic  game  hunting area or at an approved      
   hunting enclosure.
