What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill authorizes a person to hunt from a motor vehicle equipped with a

mechanized lift.

Under current law, no person may place, possess, or transport a loaded firearm,

a cocked crossbow, or a bow with a nocked arrow in or on a vehicle. Under current

law, no person may load a firearm, discharge a firearm, or shoot a bolt or an arrow

from a bow or crossbow in or from a vehicle. Under this bill, these prohibitions do

not apply to a person legally hunting from a platform elevated by a mechanized lift

attached to a motor vehicle equipped with stabilizers, subject to certain

requirements.
