Plain-language change summary

The bill has been amended to limit eligibility for hunting with an air bow to individuals who are totally disabled by the Social Security Administration, paraplegic, or multiple amputees, removing the provision for those who are blind. This change matters because it narrows the group of people who can hunt with an air bow, potentially impacting accessibility for visually impaired hunters.
