What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
