More detail
A health care provider could certify someone for a permit to hunt from a vehicle. Applicants must have severe, permanent walking limits or a genetic condition that limits long walks or carrying significant weight. The provider must be a doctor, physician assistant, advanced practice nurse, or chiropractor licensed in a U.S. state or territory or licensed or credentialed by a federal agency. A genetic diagnosis requires testing and confirmation by a licensed physician. If passed and approved, this provision would take effect immediately.
