What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, with certain exceptions, a person who holds a hunting, fishing, or trapping approval issued by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) may not transfer that approval to another person. Under one exception to this general prohibition, the holder of certain approvals may transfer those approvals to a person who is under 18 years of age (minor). Among the approvals that may be transferred to a minor is a bonus deer hunting permit, a bobcat hunting and trapping permit, a wild turkey hunting license, a Class A bear license, and a sturgeon spearing license. The holder of the approval must apply to DNR to transfer the approval to the minor and if the application is made within a specified period of time, the minor has not been previously transferred that type of approval, and the minor is otherwise eligible to use the approval, the approval may be transferred. Current law prohibits the holder of an approval from receiving any payment for transfer of an approval.
This bill expands the exceptions to the general prohibition against the transfer of approvals. The bill allows the transfer of the same approvals that may be transferred to a minor under current law to be transferred to a person with a disability. The bill defines such a person to be a person who has certain permanent disabilities such as those that require the person to use a wheelchair; a person who has certain temporary disabilities that restrict mobility; a person who has an amputation or permanent substantial loss of his or her shoulder, arm, or hand; or a person who is visually handicapped. Under the bill, the same requirements that apply to the transfer of an approval to a minor under current law apply to the transfer of an approval to a person with a disability.
