HF 388: Relating to the allocation of nonresident deer hunting licenses

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill relates to nonresident deer hunting licenses issued by the natural resource commission (NRC). Currently, NRC authorizes the issuance of up to 6,000 antlered or any sex deer hunting licenses to nonresidents. Licenses are awarded based on the results of drawing from applicant pools. The first nonresident antlered or any sex deer hunting license drawing is made from the pool of applicants with the most preference points and continues to pools of applicants with successively fewer preference points until all the available licenses have been issued.
