An Act establishing a special commission to study the noise effects of hunting migratory game birds in neighborhoods and communities within established coastal zones

This bill creates a special commission to investigate how hunting migratory game birds from boats affects residents living in coastal neighborhoods. The commission will specifically look at noise levels and evaluate whether the current distance rules requiring hunters to stay away from land need to be increased. The group will be made up of state officials, legislative leaders, and industry representatives who must hold public meetings in several coastal towns to gather information. By December 31, 2023, the commission must submit a final report with its findings and any suggested laws to state leaders.
