Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (H-2) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that narrows the scope to cover only a "ground blind" used for firearms hunting and located on public land. "Ground blind" would mean "a manufactured ground enclosure used to conceal the occupant," but would not include a blind built entirely of dead vegetation found on the property.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Amendment offered
by
To remove the hunter orange mandate proposed for blinds and "ground blinds." The bill would only create some new huner orange apparel exemptions.
