Allows possession of bear spray for repelling aggressive bears.

This bill allows individuals aged 18 or older to possess bear spray for repelling aggressive bears while engaging in outdoor activities. The bear spray must be approved and registered by the EPA and clearly labeled as such. The bill also exempts individuals from civil liability for damages if they use bear spray in self-defense against an aggressive bear. However, it does not grant immunity for willful or negligent use of bear spray.
