An Act addressing noise issues of migratory game hunters near coastal dwellings
HD 432 restricts where hunters can discharge firearms while pursuing migratory game birds near the coast. It prohibits hunters using any watercraft (including boats powered by gasoline, electricity, or other means) from firing within 1,000 feet of the coastal shoreline. This directly affects hunters who hunt migratory game birds from boats or floating devices along coastal areas. The bill amends existing hunting laws to establish this 1,000-foot buffer zone as a specific, enforceable requirement.
