Bill Summary
To authorize Sunday hunting on private and public property by shotgun or rifle.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to modify existing state statutes to allow hunting on Sundays using shotguns or rifles on both private and public lands. Currently, many states have restrictions on hunting on Sundays, often due to historical religious or conservation concerns, so this legislation would represent a significant change in hunting regulations. By permitting Sunday hunting, the bill would expand opportunities for hunters to pursue game during what has traditionally been a day of rest from hunting activities. The bill appears straightforward, simply authorizing the use of shotguns and rifles for hunting on Sundays without additional complex provisions or restrictions. The legislative language indicates this change would apply broadly across private property owned by individuals as well as public lands managed by the state, potentially increasing hunting access and recreational opportunities for hunters in the jurisdiction.
