It is intended to restore the First Amendment Rights to photographers. interesting to watch as it makes it way through the process, if it does make any headway at all.

There is no hope of this passing unless the pols see that there are a large number of voters expressing a desire to see it done. I would like to see an on-line petition sponsored by UHH in support of this bill.

I read the Bill and some analytical articles. As a private photographer, you are not restricted in any park. If you go in with a crew and set up in such a way that would restrict access by other visitors, you need a permit. If you are doing a professional shot for a wedding, movie or magazine layout, you will need a permit. I think you would have an issue if you went to Yosemite and found that Disney was restricting your access to certain venues so they could shoot a movie.
Be careful what you ask for: you might just get it.
