DESCRIPTION
This proposal would allow the donation and use of wild game to be prepared and served for human consumption by political subdivisions, elementary or secondary schools, or any charitable, religious, fraternal or other not for profit organization.
Individuals would be allowed to donate, collect and transport game lawfully taken to charitable entities for the preparation of meals provided that all game donated is accompanied by information identifying the donor.
Any dining hall where wild game is served must be posted with visible signs alerting diners that the meat has not been subjected to state or federal inspection. Current Missouri law
provides that whitetail deer may be donated if processed at a licensed facility, but other game may only be served if purchased from a distributor licensed by the Department of Health.
Additional provisions allow for donations of game that is the subject of a controlled kill to prevent private property damage. The kill must be pursuant to authorization from a
conservation agent and the recipient of the donation must be approved by the Department of Conservation.
DESCRIPTION (continued)
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
