What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources may issue an archer

hunting license to any resident applying for the license and may issue a nonresident

archer hunting license to any nonresident applying for the license. Both licenses

authorize the hunting of certain game with a bow and arrow, including deer.

Current law also provides that a person who has attained the age of 65 may

hunt under a resident archer hunting license with a crossbow as well as a bow and

arrow. This bill expands this authority so that under a nonresident archer hunting

license, a nonresident who has attained the age of 65 may also hunt with a crossbow.
