This bill amends West Virginia Code §20-2-28 to clarify that a hunting license is only required for hunting on public land. The bill introduces new language stating that any person may hunt on private property during open season, provided they have permission from the landowner. This change aims to simplify the regulations surrounding hunting licenses and ensure that individuals can hunt on private land without the need for a license, as long as they have the landowner's consent.

Additionally, the bill makes several technical corrections to existing references within the law, updating section numbers and ensuring consistency in the language used. The overall intent of the legislation is to promote hunting on private lands while maintaining the requirement for a license when hunting on public lands.
