Bill to bar foreign born hunters in state and weapon seizure
A proposed bill would bar foreign born un naturalized residents from hunting in the state unless they own at least $500 in property and would treat firearm presence as prima facie evidence of intent to violate the act.

A separate welfare committee report favors pension reforms for police and fire personnel, granting full salary during a year of disability, half pay thereafter, annual medical exams, and survivor benefits tied to age of children.
