Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill approves licensed physical therapists and licensed occupational therapists to certify the disability of an applicant for a no-cost hunting, trolling, or fishing approval issued by the Department of Natural Resources.
Under current law, DNR issues approvals that authorize the hunting, fishing, and trapping of wild animals for a specified fee. Current law provides that DNR may not charge a fee for issuing certain hunting, fishing, and trolling approvals to individuals with specified disabilities. An application for one of these approvals must be accompanied by a written statement verifying the applicant's disability prepared by a licensed physician, physician assistant, chiropractor, or podiatrist or a certified advanced practice nurse prescriber.
