What’s in it

Current law requires the natural resource commission to establish rules that prohibit the use of pistols and revolvers with shoulder stock or long-barrel modifications when hunting deer. Current law also prohibits a person under the age of 16 from hunting deer with a pistol or revolver. This bill requires the commission to define and categorize firearms to be consistent with federal definitions. The bill also allows a person 20 years of age or less to hunt using a pistol or revolver if the person is under direct supervision of a person who is at least 21 years of age with a valid hunting license, and has consent from a parent, guardian, or spouse who is at least 21 years of age.

Changed since by amendment H-1044; see Amendments.
