HF 2209: Relating to residents under sixteen years of age accompanying an adult who is hunting or trapping

What it does

This bill allows a resident under years of age to accompany the minor’s parent or guardian, or any other competent adult with the consent of the minor’s parent or guardian, without a hunting or fur harvester license while the parent, guardian, or other adult is hunting or trapping any game or fur-bearing animal as long as the minor is not hunting or trapping and does not carry or use a firearm or any other weapon. Under current law, a resident under years of age may accompany the parent, guardian, or other adult without a fur harvester license while the parent, guardian, or other adult is hunting raccoons.
