Bill Summary

Relating to the use of certain weapons in or on the bed or bank of a navigable river or stream; providing a penalty.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Parks and Wildlife Code to prohibit the discharge of firearms or shooting of arrows from any kind of bow if the person is located in or on the bed or bank of a navigable river or stream, or if any portion of the ammunition or arrow could physically contact the bed or bank of a navigable river or stream. The bill provides exceptions for certain activities, such as fishing with archery equipment, the legal taking of an alligator, and the discharge of a firearm to take a venomous snake or non-indigenous rodent. The bill also establishes a Class C Parks and Wildlife Code misdemeanor offense for violating these provisions and allows for prosecution under this law or other applicable laws, but not both.
