What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
