What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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, a

certified advanced practice nurse prescriber, or, for certain approvals, a licensed

optometrist.
