I stand corrected - SB 207 is still alive. Hopefully this too will make it through.

It's now only about a new $5 permit/tag that will allow deer hunting with a handgun.

446 [said sections] this section and section 26-
447 86c, as amended by this act. The commissioner shall issue, upon
448 payment of a five-dollar fee, to the owner of ten or more acres of
449 private land or a resident of this state, who has the consent of the
450 owner of ten or more acres of private land, a private land pistol or
451 revolver permit that allows the use of a pistol or revolver, as defined in
452 section 29-27, to hunt deer from November first to December thirty
453 first, inclusive, pursuant to the bag limit established for a private land
454 deer permit under this subsection. Any person authorized to hunt deer
455 by pistol or revolver pursuant to this subsection shall use a cartridge of
