What’s in it

This bill relates to trapping fur-bearing animals by persons under years of age. Under current law, a person under years of age is not required to have a license to hunt game if the minor is accompanied by the minor’s parent, guardian, or other competent adult with consent from the minor’s parent or guardian and the person accompanying the minor has a valid hunting license. The bill allows a person under years of age to also trap fur-bearing animals without a license while accompanied by the minor’s parent, guardian, or other competent adult with consent from the minor’s parent or guardian and the person accompanying the minor has a valid fur harvester license. There must be one licensed adult accompanying each person under the age of trapping pursuant to the bill.
