 March 18, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. CHLUDZINSKI -- read once and referred to the
 Committee on Environmental Conservation

 AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to
 removing requirements that a parent, guardian or person and the minor
 remain at ground level at all times while deer hunting

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 1 of section 11-0935 of the
 2 environmental conservation law, as added by section 1 of part ZZ of
 3 chapter 55 of the laws of 2021, is amended to read as follows:
 4 (b) such parent, guardian or person has had at least three [year's]
 5 years' experience in hunting deer; and
 6 (i) such parent, guardian or person holds a hunting license; and
 7 (ii) such parent, guardian or person maintains physical control over
 8 the minor at all times while hunting. For the purposes of this paragraph
 9 "physical control" shall mean that the physical proximity of such minor
 10 to the parent, guardian or person is such that the parent, guardian or
 11 person is reasonably able to issue verbal directions and instructions,
 12 maintain constant visual contact, and otherwise provide guidance and
 13 supervision to the minor; and
 14 [(iii) such parent, guardian or person and the minor remain at ground
 15 level at all times while hunting; and]
 16 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that
 17 the amendments made to subdivision 1 of section 11-0935 of the environ-
 18 mental conservation law made by section one of this act shall not affect
 19 the repeal of such section and shall be deemed repealed therewith.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
