What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) must treat a qualified member of the armed forces, a reserve unit of the U.S. armed forces, or the national guard as a resident for purposes of determining the member's eligibility for, and cost of, obtaining hunting, trapping, or fishing approvals. Fees for approvals issued to residents are lower than for those issued to nonresidents. This bill expands this treatment to a nonresident who has received the Purple Heart medal.
Under current law, a conservation patron license confers a number of fishing, hunting, and trapping privileges and allows free vehicle admission to state parks and related areas. Under this bill, DNR must issue a conservation patron license at a reduced fee to a resident or nonresident applicant who has received a Purple Heart medal.
