A bill for an act prohibiting hunting near public recreation areas, and making penalties applicable.

SF 281 prohibits discharging firearms or hunting game/fur-bearing animals within 200 yards of public recreation areas. It directly affects hunters operating near these areas, including parks and recreational facilities managed by local, state, or federal governments. Key exceptions include existing public hunting areas (established before the bill's effective date) and target shooting ranges that were already operational within 200 yards. Violations are punishable as simple misdemeanors with a $35 fine.
