HB 382 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

HUNTING/LICENSES: Repeals obsolete hunting license provisions

HB 382 removes two outdated sections from Louisiana's hunting license laws that are no longer in use. This change directly affects hunters and the state's licensing system by eliminating rules for basic licenses that allow hunting over extended periods and a specific license for primitive firearms. The bill does not alter current hunting seasons or create new requirements; it simply deletes these existing provisions.
