This bill died with 98th Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there are no live odds of enactment. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Amends the Wildlife Code. Changes the definition of "bow and arrow" to mean a longbow, recurve bow, compound bow, crossbow, or other archery device that pulls 40 pounds within a 28 inch draw (instead of "a longbow, recurve bow, compound bow, or crossbow").
