HUNTING BY DISABLED FROM VEHICLE - S.B. 1220: COMMITTEE SUMMARY
Senate Bill 1220 (as introduced 5-2-00)
Sponsor: Senator Christopher D. Dingell
Committee: Hunting, Fishing and Forestry
Date Completed: 5-18-00
CONTENT
The bill would amend Part 401 (Wildlife Conservation) of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to provide that a hunting permit issued to a disabled person would authorize the person to take game from or upon a vehicle. Currently, a permit may be issued to a person who is unable to walk due to being a paraplegic or an amputee, or being permanently disabled and unable to walk because of other disease or injury, to take game during the open season for that game, including deer of either sex. The permit authorizes that person to take game only from or upon a "standing" vehicle.
