Bill > S01265

This bill amends the Environmental Conservation Law to provide free lifetime licenses for honorably discharged, disabled veterans with a 40% or greater service-connected disability. The bill eliminates the regular fees for these lifetime licenses, which previously ranged from $65 to $765 depending on the licensee's age and type of license. The bill is aimed at ensuring that honorably discharged, disabled veterans can access hunting, fishing, trapping, archery, and muzzle-loading privileges without having to pay the standard licensing fees.
