Direct from Senate and House conference committee reports:

This section applies to a hunting season beginning after June 30, 2016, and ending before January 1, 2020.

A hunter may use a rifle during the firearms season to hunt deer subject to the following:

The use of a rifle is permitted only on privately owned land.

The rifle must have a barrel length of at least sixteen inches.

The rifle must be chambered for one (1) of the following cartridges:
.243
.30-30
.300
.30-06
.308
So, we're back to private land only, but it's state-wide.

No more 10ft rule.

No more purple paint.

10mm handguns allowed.

A wide variety of .300 rifles allowed, and a few specific calibers.

No FMJ's.

I think this is a fairly decent start to widening the rifle offerings in the state.
