            House Bill 968 amends the Parks and Wildlife Code to remove the requirement that a person have upper limb disabilities in order to be allowed to hunt deer, turkey, or javelina with a crossbow during an archery-only open season. The bill provides that, in a county that does not permit hunting with a firearm, a hunter may use a crossbow only if the hunter is a person with upper limb disabilities and has an archery hunting stamp.
