1An Act to create 29.219 (2m), 29.228 (4m), 29.563 (3) (a) 4m. and 29.563 (3) (b)
25m. of the statutes;
relating to: requiring the Department of Natural
3Resources to issue one-day fishing licenses.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, with certain exceptions including an exception for residents
under the age of 16, no person may fish in this state unless the person has a valid
approval that authorizes fishing. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
issues various fishing licenses including resident and nonresident annual fishing
licenses, two-day sports fishing licenses for both residents and nonresidents, 15-day
fishing licenses for nonresidents, and four-day fishing licenses for nonresidents.
This bill requires DNR to also issue one-day fishing licenses to residents and
nonresidents.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
