What’s in it
This bill relates to special nonresident deer and wild turkey hunting licenses allocated to nonresident dignitaries and guests. Under current law, a committee consisting of the majority leader of the senate, the speaker of the house of representatives, and the director of the economic development authority, or their respective designees, may allocate up to nonresident deer hunting licenses to nonresident guests and dignitaries. A committee consisting of the same persons may allocate up to nonresident wild turkey hunting licenses to nonresident guests and dignitaries.
Read the full explanation
These licenses are issued in addition to the number of nonresident licenses the natural resource commission authorizes for nonresident deer and wild turkey hunters. The deer hunting licenses are valid in all zones open to deer hunting and the wild turkey hunting licenses are valid in all zones open to wild turkey hunting. The purpose of these licenses is to allow state officials and local development groups to promote the state and its natural resources to nonresident guests and dignitaries. The bill eliminates the committees and requires the department of natural resources to allocate the licenses.
