What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a resident may receive an annual fishing license at a reduced fee if the person provides evidence that he or she receives certain federal disability benefits. This bill expands the category of disabled residents entitled to receive an annual fishing license at that reduced fee. Under the bill, a veteran who produces evidence that he or she receives certain federal pension benefits for a disability that is not related to his or her military service qualifies for the reduced fee license. The bill does not change current law under which a veteran who receives federal disability benefits related to his or her military service may receive an annual fishing license at a further reduced fee.
