Bill summary

House amendment #1 makes the following changes to the 2nd edition.

Modifies and adds to Section 1. Prohibits discharging a firearm, bow and arrow, crossbow, or any other deadly weapon to hunt or kill any wild animal or wild bird on, from, or across the right-of-way of any State-maintained road or highway without written permission from the adjoining landowners or lessees of the land abutting the road across which the weapon is being discharged (previously, did not provide for an exception with written permission from abutting landowners or lessees). Adds a provision providing that the prohibition does not apply to persons who have a permit issued by the Wildlife Resources Commission to persons who have a handicap that limits physical mobility if the road or highway right-of-way in question is part of game land managed by the Commission.
