Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person born on or after January 1, 1973, may not be issued any type of approval authorizing hunting unless the person has successfully completed the hunter education and firearm safety program established by the department of natural resources. This bill specifically authorizes a resident to show that he or she has successfully completed the program by presenting a hunting approval that he or she was issued in this state within the last year as well as by presenting his or her certificate.

For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
