DOA:......Statz, BB0126 - Conservation patron licenses, age range for minors
For 2005-07 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.

natural resources
Fish, game, and wildlife
Under current law, DNR may issue conservation patron licenses to any person 14 years old or older who applies for the license. A conservation patron license gives the licensee the combined privileges of a variety of hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses, including deer hunting licenses, annual fishing licenses, and trapping licenses.
Notwithstanding current law that provides that a person must be 14 years old to receive a conservation patron license, current law specifies a reduced fee for conservation patron licenses issued to people who are at least 12 years old but less than 18 years old. This bill changes current law to clarify that DNR may issue conservation patron licenses to any person who is at least 12 years old.
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:
SECTION 1. 29.235 (1) of the statutes is amended to read:
29.235 (1) ISSUANCE. A resident conservation patron license shall be issued subject to s. 29.024 by the department to any resident 14 12 years old or older who applies for the license. A nonresident conservation patron license shall be issued subject to s. 29.024 by the department to any person 14 12 years old or older who is not a resident and who applies for the license.

Under current law, no person may hunt pheasant without a license issued by DNR. With certain exceptions, the hunter must also have a pheasant hunting stamp, issued by DNR, attached to, or imprinted on, the person's license. DNR charges a fee for both the hunting license and the stamp.
This bill generally requires a person to obtain an additional permit from DNR in order to hunt pheasants on certain pheasant stocked lands under DNR's management and control. Under the bill, DNR must issue these permits to any person who applies for the permit and who has a valid conservation patron license or a valid pheasant hunting stamp attached to or imprinted on the person's small game or sports license. The bill authorizes DNR to charge a fee for the permit.
