SHOOTING NOTICE AT STATE PARKS S.B. 366 (S-1): COMMITTEE SUMMARY






Senate Bill 366 (Substitute S-1)
Sponsor: Senator Valde Garcia
Committee: Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs


Date Completed: 5-9-05

CONTENT
The bill would amend Part 741 (State Parks System) of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to require the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to post, at the entrance to the recreational areas of each State park containing a designated shooting range that is open to visitors, a notice stating the range's regular hours of operation. The notice would have to be posted in a visible location, and the lettering would have to be of a sufficient type size to be read easily by State park visitors. The DNR would not have to post the hours of operation in which the shooting range was open for special events. If the Department did not do so, however, the notice would have to include a statement to that effect.
