SB 2031 sets conditions for the removal of fences surrounding breeder deer release sites. It allows landowners to remove such fences after five years have elapsed since the last release of breeder deer, provided that the site meets chronic wasting disease (CWD) testing requirements and does not have a significant epidemiological connection to a CWD-infected facility. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is responsible for certifying compliance with these conditions.
