Bill > SB0408

This bill amends Section 43510 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, primarily updating language related to firearms regulations in areas frequented by wild animals. The key changes include replacing gendered language (such as "his or her") with gender-neutral terms like "that individual's" and simplifying restrictions on pistol transportation and carrying. Specifically, the bill removes detailed provisions about concealed pistol licenses and their exceptions, instead broadly stating that individuals can transport or carry a loaded pistol, whether concealed or not, without specifying previous licensing conditions. The bill maintains the existing requirement that individuals must have the appropriate license to carry firearms in wild animal areas, and it clarifies that the ability to carry a pistol does not automatically authorize hunting or taking wild animals. Importantly, the bill is contingent on the passage of Senate Bill 406, meaning it will only take effect if that companion bill becomes law.
