Findings — 2003 c 175: "The legislature finds that the department of fish and wildlife is responsible for the proper management of the state's diverse wildlife resources. Wildlife management often requires the department of fish and wildlife to immobilize individual animals in order for the animals to be moved, treated, examined, or for other legitimate purposes. The legislature finds that it is often necessary for the department to use certain controlled substances to accomplish these purposes. Therefore, the legislature finds that the department of fish and wildlife, in coordination with the *board of pharmacy, must be enabled to use approved controlled substances in order to accomplish its legitimate wildlife management goals." [ 2003 c 175 s 1 .]

*Reviser's note: Chapter 19, Laws of 2013 changed "board of pharmacy" to "pharmacy quality assurance commission."
