David Maloney said the trespassing language concerned him, the proposal would require game wardens to work Sundays and that eliminating hunting at state parks was not an improvement.'We have 124 state parks, and 100 of them already are permissible for hunting,' Maloney said. 'But we're going to exclude the state parks? This is why I don't think you can make a bad bill better by doing certain amendments.'It would authorize Sunday hunting for about five years.
