(1) As used in this section: (a) Chronic wasting disease means a type of spongiform encephalopathy that is transmissible among cervids and typified by chronic and fatal weight loss. (b) Commercial cervid attractant means a marketed product that contains or is derived from cervid urine and is designed for use in luring, attracting or enticing a cervid. (2) The Legislative Assembly finds and declares that: (a) Commercial cervid attractants sometimes contain the source of chronic wasting disease; (b) There is no reliable test for determining the presence or absence of chronic wasting disease in commercial cervid attractants; and (c) Banning the possession and use of commercial cervid attractants will reduce the threat to the cervid population of this state from chronic wasting disease. (3) A person may not possess or use commercial cervid attractants. Note: 498.018 was added to and made a part of the wildlife laws by legislative action but was not added to ORS chapter 498 or any series therein.
