Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Bill SB 508 clarifies the requirements for hunters regarding safety attire. Specifically, hunters using firearms or muzzleloaders for deer hunting must wear a daylight fluorescent orange garment that covers at least 400 square inches. However, it also maintains an exemption for individuals engaged in agricultural work who are hunting on their own property. This change is important because it emphasizes safety during hunting seasons while allowing farmers to manage deer on their land without added restrictions.
