What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to treat a terminally ill

individual who is participating in a hunting-related event sponsored by a charitable

organization as a resident for purposes of determining his or her eligibility for, and

cost of, obtaining hunting approvals. Under current law, fees charged for hunting,

trapping, and fishing approvals are lower for approvals issued to residents than for

those issued to nonresidents
