This bill amends Louisiana's regulations regarding frogging at night, specifically addressing the use of firearms during this activity. The current law prohibits individuals from carrying or possessing shotguns, rifles, or firearms while taking or hunting frogs at night. The new legal language removes this prohibition, allowing individuals to carry firearms while frogging at night.

In addition to the changes regarding firearms, the bill maintains existing provisions that permit the use of jacklights, visible lights, and mechanical devices known as frog catchers for taking frogs. It also allows the use of devices that puncture the skin, such as gigs and spears, for this purpose. Overall, the bill aims to provide more flexibility for individuals engaged in nighttime frogging activities.
