___________________ moved that HB 1263 be amended as follows:


     On page 1, line 12, of the printed bill, after "section," insert "shall have successfully completed a hunter safety or hunter education course that meets the requirements of chapter 41-7,".

     On page 1, line 12, after "hunted." insert "A child who hunts pursuant to this section shall be under the immediate physical control and direct supervision of a hunting mentor at the time the child discharges a firearm or operates a bow and arrow in the act of hunting. A hunting mentor may accompany no more than one mentored child at any one time. No hunting party that includes a mentored child may include more than six persons, regardless of whether or not members of the hunting party are hunting or possess or operate firearms.".

     On page 2, line 3, after "mentor." insert "A mentored child may not take big game under the provisions of this section except antlerless deer, turkey, and doe-fawn antelope. No big game may be taken by a mentored child unless the child's parent or legal guardian has been issued a license that designates the child as a mentored child who is authorized to exercise the privileges granted by the license. The license is valid only for the mentored child and is not transferable to another person. Application for or issuance of such licenses does not affect the eligibility of the parent or legal guardian for any other big game license.".
