What’s in it

This bill relates to deer hunting privileges of disabled veterans. Under the bill, a resident who served in the armed forces of the United States on federal active duty who was disabled during that veteran’s military service may use a deer hunting license and tag issued to the resident during any established deer hunting season for which the method of take authorized for the season being hunted corresponds with the method of take authorized by the license. A person hunting in such manner shall, upon request of a peace officer, display proof of the person’s resident and disability status.
