Maddy summaryThis bill removes a requirement that a parent, guardian, or responsible adult and a minor remain at ground level during deer hunting. It directly affects minors who hunt with adult supervisors under New York's deer hunting regulations. The key change deletes the specific ground-level rule while keeping other supervision requirements, such as the adult maintaining close physical proximity (for constant visual contact and verbal guidance) and having at least three years of deer hunting experience. The bill modifies existing law to allow more flexibility in how adult supervisors can safely oversee minors during hunts.
