Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 56:634(A), relative to frogging at night; to provide for carrying and possession of firearms; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill modifies Louisiana state law regarding frogging (the activity of catching frogs) by removing a previous restriction that prohibited people from carrying firearms while hunting or taking frogs at night. Currently, Louisiana law allows frogs to be caught using various methods such as jacklights (bright lights used to disorient and locate frogs), mechanical frog catchers, gigs, and spears. The proposed amendment would eliminate the existing prohibition on carrying shotguns, rifles, or other firearms during nighttime frogging activities, effectively giving individuals the legal right to possess firearms while engaged in frogging. This change would provide more flexibility for frog hunters and potentially address safety or hunting preferences of those who participate in nighttime frog hunting. The bill is set to take effect on August 1, 2025, and represents a small but specific modification to Louisiana's wildlife and hunting regulations.
