The bill would also allow drivers to shoot a deer or elk that was struck by a vehicle and subsequently injured. The bill, if passed, would not take effect until 2019. From the legislature • Renters around the state will be waiting for the outcome of a work session being held today regarding the no cause evic- tions bill.
