AI Summary
This bill allows individuals who are exempt from the hunting license requirement due to disability to use an "air bow" (a device that uses compressed air to propel arrows) during any open season on deer, turkey, or small game in Mississippi. The bill amends an existing law that previously only allowed the use of crossbows or regular bows and arrows by those exempt from the hunting license requirement. The new provision specifically permits the use of air bows by individuals who are totally disabled, paraplegic, or multiple amputees.
