Baltimore City - Natural Resources - Archery Hunting Safety Zones

SB 879 allows Baltimore City to join other Maryland jurisdictions where deer hunting on Sundays is permitted during the bow hunting season. The bill amends Maryland’s Natural Resources code to explicitly include Baltimore City in the list of areas where hunters may hunt deer on Sundays, removing a previous restriction. It also adds Baltimore City to the list of areas requiring archery hunters to maintain safety zones around certain structures. This change directly affects hunters in Baltimore City and modifies existing hunting regulations without altering seasonal dates or other hunting methods. The bill focuses on updating specific legal language to permit Sunday deer hunting and clarify archery safety requirements in the city.
