What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
