What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to designate the fourth

full weekend in July as a special event weekend during which DNR must waive, for

veterans, the requirement that persons be issued fishing licenses and pay the

applicable fees in order to fish in the waters of this state. Under current law, DNR

must designate two such special event weekends per year that apply to all persons,

one of which must be the third full weekend in January. For all special event

weekends, current law, and the bill, require DNR to designate, by rule, to which

inland or outlying waters the waivers apply.
