Bill > S03351

This bill amends the environmental conservation law to provide free lifetime licenses for New York state's honorably discharged, disabled veterans. Specifically, it eliminates the fees for lifetime hunting, fishing, trapping, archery, and muzzle-loading licenses for New York state residents who have been honorably discharged from the U.S. armed forces, have a qualifying condition with a discharge other than bad conduct or dishonorable, or are discharged LGBT veterans with a 40% or greater service-connected disability. The bill aims to support these veterans by eliminating the costs associated with these outdoor activities.
