Bill > H739

This bill aims to address noise issues of migratory game hunters near coastal dwellings. It proposes two key changes to existing laws: 1. It prohibits hunters using watercraft from discharging firearms within 1,000 feet of the coastal shoreline, in order to reduce the noise impact on nearby coastal residents. 2. It requires that any watercraft used for hunting migratory game birds must be positioned at least 1,000 feet from the coastal shoreline, again to minimize the disruption to coastal dwellers from hunting activities. The bill is intended to strike a balance between the needs of migratory game hunters and the concerns of those living in coastal areas affected by the noise from hunting activities.
