I found this on another web site. Does anyone know the BILL number associated with this ?
This basically changes the unloaded firearm-bow-crossbow case law.

Interestingly look at the very bottom paragraph.

Effective date.
(1) This act takes effect on November 1, 2011, or on the day after publication,
whichever is later.

That link requires a sign-in to read.

How about a summary?

No time to format, sorry.

2011 BILL

AN ACT to renumber and amend 23.33 (3) (e), 167.31 (2) (a) and 167.31 (2) (b);

to amend 23.33 (11p) (e) 2., 167.31 (2) (c) and 167.31 (3) (a) 2.; and to create

23.33 (3) (eg), 23.33 (3) (er), 23.33 (3c) (title), 23.33 (3c) (b), 167.31 (1) (cm),

167.31 (1) (fg), 167.31 (2) (a) 3., 167.31 (2) (b) 3. and 167.31 (4) (ag) of the

statutes; relating to: placing, possessing, or transporting a firearm, bow, or

crossbow in or on a vehicle or in or on a motorboat.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau Under current law, with some exceptions, no person may place, possess, or transport a firearm in or on a vehicle unless the firearm is encased and unloaded. Under the bill, the firearm may be outside a case but must be unloaded. The bill allows a person to place or possess such a firearm that is loaded on a vehicle if the vehicle is stationary. The bill also defines “stationary,” when referring to a vehicle, to include a vehicle with the motor running, if the vehicle is not moving. Under the bill, this definition also applies to stationary vehicles used by persons hunting with disabled hunter permits.

Under current law, no person may operate an all−terrain vehicle (ATV) with a firearm, other than a handgun, in his or her possession unless the firearm is unloaded and encased. Under the bill, the firearm may be outside a case but must be unloaded.

Under current law, with some exceptions, no person may place, possess, or transport a bow or crossbow in or on a motorboat or a vehicle unless the bow or crossbow is unstrung or is encased. Under the bill, the bow or crossbow may be strung and outside a case, but a bow may not have an arrow nocked and a crossbow may not be cocked.

Under current law no person may operate an ATV with a bow in his or her possession unless the bow is unstrung or encased. The bill expands this provision to specifically include crossbows. Under the bill, a bow or crossbow may be strung and outside a case, but a bow may not have an arrow nocked and a crossbow may not be cocked.
