Referred to Committee on Natural Resources and Sporting Heritage.
AB336,1,2 1An Act to create 29.193 (1m) (a) 3. of the statutes; relating to: trolling permits
2issued to persons whose sight is impaired.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to issue trolling
permits to persons whose eyesight is impaired.
Under current law, DNR issues trolling permits, without charging a fee, to
persons who have an amputation or other loss of an arm or who have a permanent,
substantial loss of function in one or both arms or hands. A trolling permit allows
a person who holds a fishing license to fish or troll using an electric motor.
This bill requires DNR to also issue a trolling permit to a person who produces
a certificate from a licensed physician or optometrist stating that his or her sight is
impaired to the degree that he or she cannot read newspaper print with or without
glasses.
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
