Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to treat a terminally ill
individual who is participating in a hunting-related event sponsored by a charitable
organization as a resident for purposes of determining his or her eligibility for, and
cost of, obtaining hunting approvals. Under current law, fees charged for hunting,
trapping, and fishing approvals are lower for approvals issued to residents than for
those issued to nonresidents
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
