What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under this bill, a person who receives a notice of approval to obtain a wild turkey hunting license and tag from the Department of Natural Resources may transfer his or her approval to another person who is otherwise eligible to obtain a wild turkey hunting license.
Under current law, if DNR requires wild turkey hunting licenses and the number of applications for wild turkey hunting tags for a given zone or period exceeds the number of available tags, DNR is required to issue licenses and tags for that zone or period according to a cumulative preference system. DNR then notifies applicants selected to receive a license and tag, which are issued upon payment of the license fee.
