            House Bill 1805 amends the Parks and Wildlife Code to add an exception to the prohibition against hunting a legally protected game animal or bird with the aid of an artificial light by authorizing a person with a documented permanent physical disability that renders the person incapable of using a traditional firearm sighting device to use a laser sighting device. The bill specifies requirements applicable to such a hunter and requires the Parks and Wildlife Commission to adopt rules that prescribe what is acceptable as proof of such a physical disability.
