AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE USE OF FIREARMS FITTED WITH SOUND SUPPRESSORS BY HUNTERS.

HB 5912 would allow hunters in this state to legally use firearms equipped with sound suppressors during hunting activities. The bill amends existing statutes to explicitly authorize this use, directly affecting licensed hunters who currently face restrictions on suppressor use while hunting. The key provision removes the prohibition on suppressors for hunting purposes, aligning the state's law with federal regulations that permit suppressor use for hunting. This change modifies the legal framework governing hunting equipment without altering other firearm or hunting regulations.
