§ 10504 Game Refuge Property Regulations

This law says any land bought to be a game refuge has to be owned by the State and must always follow the rules that the game‑refuge commission sets.

Key Takeaways

  • •Land for game refuges must be owned by the State.
  • •The commission can set rules about how the refuge is used, protected, and run.
  • •Those rules apply at all times, not just when the land is first bought.

Example

A town buys a 100‑acre forest to protect deer and birds and calls it a game refuge.

Because the land is a game refuge, the title must be in the State’s name, and the town has to follow any rules the commission creates for how the land is used, protected, and managed.
