The bill amends sections 1533.10, 1533.11, and 1533.111 of the Revised Code to allow a resident landowner's parents, children of any age, and grandchildren under eighteen to hunt on the landowner's property without needing to obtain a hunting license, deer permit, wild turkey permit, or fur taker permit. It also extends this privilege to tenants and their children residing on the land. The amendments remove the requirement for children of any age to be specified for hunting deer or wild turkey permits, thereby simplifying the regulations for family members of landowners and promoting recreational hunting on private property without the burden of licensing fees.

Additionally, the bill allows certain individuals associated with a trust to hunt or trap fur-bearing animals on trust-owned land without requiring a fur taker permit. This includes trustees or beneficiaries who are residents of Ohio, along with their parents, children of any age, and grandchildren under eighteen. The bill clarifies that a fur taker permit is non-transferable and prohibits carrying a permit issued in someone else's name. It also specifies that nonresidents with a fur taker permit can take and possess fur-bearing animals in accordance with state law or division rules. Finally, the bill repeals the existing sections 1533.10, 1533.11, and 1533.111, streamlining the legal framework surrounding these regulations.
