WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) -- A conservative group has filed a lawsuit against the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources over the cancellation of hunter safety courses.
In a complaint that was filed just before noon on Wednesday, officials say the DNR is out of bounds for saying the will not honor hunter safety certificates for anyone who completes an in-person course during the COVID-19 outbreak.
The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty has filed the suit on behalf of Hunter Nation, whose CEO lives in Marshfield.
The complaint says the DNR lacks the authority to cancel the in-person classes and that the policy violates the Wisconsin constitution
The DNR has not responded to requests for comment.
