Shooting range closures would require several approvals

The game and fish commission must complete several review and approval steps before closing a covered shooting range. This applies to state-owned outdoor shooting ranges located within or next to a city’s boundaries and covered by the section. Indoor ranges, archery-only areas, air-gun areas, certain National Guard facilities, and facilities not owned by the state before January 1, 2002, are excluded. The department director must recommend the closure in writing. The commission must issue a report explaining the recommendation. The commission must unanimously approve the closure after public hearings in the three counties with the largest populations. The Joint Committee on Capital Review must review the recommendation, and the Legislature must approve the closure by joint resolution before the governor approves it by executive order. The required reviews and approvals must occur before the commission closes the shooting range. The text does not state an effective date or a deadline for completing the process.
