What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan 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. The bill also provides that a person who holds a one-day fishing

license may pay a reduced fee for an annual license that is issued during the same

year for which the one-day license is valid.
