The bill allows a local education provider (LEP) to offer a hunter education course as an elective to seventh grade students, as long as the LEP: enters into an agreement with an individual or entity to provide the course at no cost to the LEP or to the enrolled students; and receives gifts, grants, or private donations in an amount sufficient enough to pay any costs that arise from providing the course. A hunter education course must satisfy the same requirements as courses certified by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) in the Department of Natural Resources, and must be conducted by a CPW-certified instructor. The course need not include hands-on activities, but if hands-on activities are offered, students must receive parental permission to participate. The CPW may accept completion of a hunter education course at an LEP toward meeting the requirement to obtain a certificate of hunter education. 01:47:33 PM Senator Ginal, bill co-prime sponsor, gave opening comments on the bill. 01:47:55 PM The bill sponsors responded to questions from the committee. 01:57:11 PM The bill sponsors continued to respond to questions. 01:58:57 PM Kathleen Ashworth, representing self, testified in opposition to the bill.
