What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person who owns or operates a sport shooting range is

immune from civil liability relating to noise and is not subject to an action for

nuisance related to noise or to zoning conditions related to noise. Under this bill, bird

hunting preserves that are licensed by the Department of Natural Resources are

considered to be sport shooting ranges for purposes of these liability, nuisance, and

zoning provisions.
