SF 2344: Relating to deer hunting licenses available to nonresident hunters

Died when the session ended · The 2022 session adjourned on May 24, 2022, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill relates to deer hunting licenses available to nonresident hunters. Currently, the natural resource commission (NRC) issues up to 6,000 antlered or any sex deer hunting licenses to nonresidents. The bill increases that amount to 7,500. The bill requires NRC to use a random draw process that is weighted to favor applicants with the most preference points to assign nonresident antlered or any sex deer hunting licenses until all available nonresident antlered or any sex deer hunting licenses have been issued.
