What’s in it

This bill relates to lifetime hunting and fishing licenses available to certain disabled veterans. Under current law, a resident who served in the armed forces of the United States on federal active duty and who was disabled during that veteran’s military service shall be issued a lifetime fishing license or lifetime hunting and fishing combined license after payment of a fee established by rule.
