What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to promulgate rules to administer a program under which it provides instruction to disabled veterans who are learning to hunt wild turkey and under which it establishes a special wild turkey hunting event during which only disabled veterans are allowed to participate. The bill defines a disabled veteran as a veteran who is a resident of this state and who has a service-connected disability rating under federal law of at least 50 percent.
Under this bill, a disabled veteran may hunt wild turkey during a special wild turkey hunting event established by DNR if the disabled veteran holds the required turkey hunting approvals or has been issued a waiver from all hunting license, permit, and other approval requirements by DNR, receives instruction about wild turkey hunting as specified by DNR, and is accompanied by a mentor at all times while hunting. The bill requires the mentor to have at least five years of hunting experience, to hold a valid hunting approval, and to provide instruction or assistance to the disabled veteran. The bill prohibits DNR from charging a disabled veteran participating in the program a fee to receive instruction or a waiver. The bill requires the special event to take place during the two-week period immediately preceding the period during which the hunting of wild turkey is otherwise allowed by the department.
