Summary

The bill bars any land surveyor or property‑line surveyor from performing a survey on private property while the deer firearms hunting season is in effect unless the property owner provides written permission. Violations are treated as misdemeanors with fines and possible jail time, and the professional board can also levy additional penalties. The measure aims to protect landowners and hunters by limiting access during a high‑risk period.
