(a) "Chronic wasting disease" means a type of spongiform encephalopathy that is transmissible among cervids and typified by chronic and fatal weight loss.

(b) "Commercial cervid attractant" means a marketed product that contains or is derived from cervid urine and is designed for use in luring, attracting or enticing a cervid.

(2) The Legislative Assembly finds and declares that:

(a) Commercial cervid attractants sometimes contain the source of chronic wasting disease;

(b) There is no reliable test for determining the presence or absence of chronic wasting disease in commercial cervid attractants; and

(c) Banning the possession and use of commercial cervid attractants will reduce the threat to the cervid population of this state from chronic wasting disease.

(3) A person may not possess or use commercial cervid attractants. [2019 c.396 §2]
