AI Summary

This bill establishes a special commission to study the noise effects of hunting migratory game birds in neighborhoods and communities within established coastal zones. The commission will assess the impacts of noise from persons hunting migratory game birds from watercraft on residents in these areas, and examine the regulated distance that hunters must maintain from land to determine if it needs to be increased. The commission will consist of members from the state legislature, executive agencies, and the sports hunting industry, and will hold public meetings to collect data and testimony. The commission will then prepare a report detailing its findings and recommendations, which will be submitted to the governor and various legislative committees by the end of 2019.
