Introduced by: Alan A. Diamonstein (by request) | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Duck blinds. Reduces the number of stationary duck blinds that riparian landowners, and persons or clubs who do not have riparian rights, may have licensed from two to one. The bill also reduces the distance that a floating blind must maintain from a stationary blind. Currently, a floating blind cannot be within 500 yards of a stationary blind. This bill allows floating blinds to be within 250 yards of a stationary blind if the stationary blind is not occupied one-half hour before sunrise. Lastly, the bill allows hunters to retrieve downed waterfowl on other landowners' property, provided they do it without having a firearm on their persons.
