Bill > S00788

This bill amends the environmental conservation law to waive fishing, hunting, and trapping license fees for certain first responders who were disabled as a result of a certified World Trade Center medical condition. It also provides free licenses to members of the Shinnecock and Poospatuck tribes, members of the United States Armed Forces on leave or furlough, and active members of the New York State organized militia and reserve components of the armed forces. The bill aims to provide these benefits to specific groups as an acknowledgement of their service and sacrifice.
