BILL SUMMARY

· Authorizes a member of a limited liability company who is an Ohio resident to hunt on land owned in this state by the limited liability company without a hunting license if the limited liability company consists of five or fewer members.

CONTENT AND OPERATION

Current law generally prohibits anyone from hunting any wild bird or wild quadruped without a hunting license.  However, the owner of lands in the state and the owner's children of any age and grandchildren under 18 years of age may hunt on the lands without a hunting license.  Additionally, the tenant and children of the tenant, residing on lands in the state, may hunt on them without a hunting license.  The bill adds that if the owner of land in the state is a limited liability company that consists of five or fewer members, a member of the limited liability company who is an Ohio resident may hunt on the land owned by the limited liability company without a hunting license.[1]  (R.C. 1533.10.)
