The lawmaker supports the bill because it removes age restrictions to ensure no hunters are excluded and adds provisions for those with life-threatening illnesses, which aligns with Game and Fish's approval.

The lawmaker supports the amendment because he believes the current bill direction is wrong for property rights and states he cannot support the bill without this change.

The sponsor explains that he is proposing an amendment to delete previous changes because a local group of disabled hunters requested the bill be returned to its original wording.

The lawmaker supports the bill as a way for the legislature to justify and oversee the use of eminent domain when large amounts of public money are involved.

The lawmaker reiterates opposition by stating constituents feel misled about the total cost and are skeptical of unfulfilled promises from other potential supporters.

The lawmaker explains that volunteers in Park County requested the bill to update age requirements and include vision-impaired individuals, so he is proposing it based on their recommendation.
