Assembly Bill No. 1912 CHAPTER 132 An act to amend Section 4370 of the Fish and Game Code, relating to hunting. [ Approved by Governor August 27, 2026. Filed with Secretary of State August 27, 2026. ] LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1912, Hadwick. Deer: archery season: concealed firearms. Existing law establishes an archery season for the taking of deer with bow and arrow. Existing law generally prohibits a person taking or attempting to take deer during that archery season from carrying, or having under their immediate control, a firearm of any kind, except for an active or honorably retired peace officer, as specified. This bill would repeal that prohibition.
