Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Currently, persons who are residents of this state, armed forces members who are stationed in this state, undergraduate students who are attending a college or university in this state, and citizens of foreign countries who are attending a high school in this state or an agricultural short course at the University of Wisconsin pay the same resident fee for hunting and fishing approvals.

This bill will allow the nonresident child of a resident to pay the same fee for hunting approvals and fishing licenses as a resident.

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