Removes requirement that a parent, guardian, or person and the minor remain at ground level while deer hunting.

New York Assembly Bill A06965 amends the environmental conservation law by removing the requirement that a parent, guardian, or person and the minor remain at ground level at all times while deer hunting. The bill maintains the requirement that the supervising adult must hold a hunting license and maintain physical control over the minor. Physical control is defined as the ability to issue verbal directions, maintain constant visual contact, and provide guidance and supervision to the minor. The changes take effect immediately but will be repealed along with the section they amend.
