THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

a trap or other catching device, scaffold or raised platform, or

 

blind for the taking of animals display a person's name, address,

 

driver license number, or any combination thereof, then that

 

requirement and any other requirement or prohibition pertaining to

 

that information on the catching device, scaffold or raised

 

platform, or blind shall instead be construed to apply to the

 

number of the person's kill tag, hunting license, raptor capture

 


permit, nuisance control permit, or fishing license, as applicable.

 

     Sec. 46502. (1) A person shall not set, place, erect, or cause

 

to be set, placed, or erected, or use a fishing shanty  at any time  

 

upon the ice in waters over which the state has jurisdiction,

 

unless the  name and address  fishing license number of the owner

 

is affixed to each side of the outside of the fishing shanty in

 

legible  letters  numbers not less than 2 inches in height. The

 

letters  numbers shall be readily visible and consist of materials

 

that are not soluble in water.

 

     (2) Placing the owner's  name and address  fishing license

 

number on a piece of wood, plastic, or other material and affixing

 

that piece of material to the fishing shanty is not compliance with

 

this section.
