What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, the Department of Natural Resources must issue wild turkey

hunting licenses and tags to resident disabled veterans and to recipients of the

purple heart medal without using the cumulative preference system required under

current law.

Under current law, if the number of applicants for wild turkey hunting tags for

a given wild turkey hunting zone or a given wild turkey hunting season time period

exceeds the number of available wild turkey hunting tags allocated by DNR for that

zone or time period, DNR must issue wild turkey hunting licenses and tags for that

zone or time period according to a cumulative preference system. Under this system,

DNR issues a limited number of licenses and tags to applicants according to their

placement in any of several preference categories based on landowner status,

resident status, and the number of seasons for which the applicant applied for but

was not issued a license.

Under current law, DNR may issue wild turkey hunting licenses and tags to

certain members of the U.S. armed forces without requiring that the licenses and

tags be issued pursuant to the cumulative preference system.
