Bill > HB201

This bill amends Ohio hunting regulations to allow a resident landowner's parents and grandchildren to hunt on the landowner's property without obtaining a hunting license, deer permit, wild turkey permit, or fur taker permit. Currently, only the landowner, their children, and grandchildren under 18 could hunt on their property without permits. The bill expands this exemption to include the landowner's parents, effectively providing more flexibility for family members to hunt together on private property. The changes apply to individual landowners, as well as land owned by small limited liability companies, limited liability partnerships, and trusts with three or fewer members/trustees. The bill modifies three sections of the Ohio Revised Code (1533.10, 1533.11, and 1533.111) to implement these changes, which aim to simplify hunting regulations for families and reduce administrative barriers for hunting on private land. The modifications maintain existing restrictions for age and residency while broadening the definition of who can hunt on a family member's property without obtaining separate hunting permits.
