Read the official explanation
This bill relates to lifetime trout fishing licenses available to certain disabled veterans. The bill strikes a provision allowing a veteran to purchase a lifetime trout fishing license if the veteran qualifies for the disabled veteran homestead credit. Under the bill, a veteran can qualify to purchase a lifetime trout fishing license if the veteran served in the armed forces of the United States on federal active duty and was disabled or was a prisoner of war during that veteran’s military service. The bill defines “disabled” to mean entitled to a service-connected rating between and 100 percent under U.S.C. ch. 11.
