What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources must issue a special

permit to a physically disabled person holding a fishing license if his or her disability

meets certain criteria. A person with a special permit may fish or troll in a boat with

an electric motor on waters where motorized boats are prohibited. This bill expands

this provision to include a disabled person who is exempt from having a fishing

license. Under current law, persons under the age of 16 and certain elderly residents

are exempt from having fishing licenses.

Also, under the bill, a person who is in the same boat and who is assisting a

disabled person holding a special permit with fishing or trolling may also fish or troll

if the person has a fishing license or is exempt from having a license.
