What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources issues approvals that authorize the hunting, fishing, or trapping of specified wild animals. Current law generally prohibits a person from transferring an approval to another person, with some exceptions. One exception is that certain approvals may be transferred to a minor or a person with a disability if the holder of the approval applies prior to the first day of the applicable open season, if the minor or person with a disability is eligible to use the approval, and if the minor or person with a disability has not previously been transferred an approval of that type.
This bill eliminates the limitation that a person with a disability may be transferred an approval only if he or she has not previously been transferred that type of approval.
