What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, in issuing turkey hunting licenses, the Department of
Natural Resources must use a preference system which gives preferences to
residents if the number of license applicants exceeds the number of wild turkey tags
that are available for a particular season. Under that system, qualified resident
landowners receive first preference in obtaining a wild turkey hunting license and
qualified nonresident landowners receive fourth preference. Under current law, an
applicant is a qualified landowner if the applicant owns at least 50 acres of land in
a single parcel in an established wild turkey hunting zone.
Under the bill, the land may be in more than one parcel but must be located
totally in the same wild turkey hunting zone.
