Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to providing free lifetime licenses for honorably discharged, disabled veterans
AI Summary
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. Specifically, it eliminates the fees for lifetime hunting, fishing, trapping, archery, and muzzle-loading licenses for these veterans, which would otherwise range from $65 to $765 depending on the type of license and the age of the individual. This change aims to provide free access to various outdoor recreational activities for disabled veterans as a way to recognize their service and sacrifice.
