Bill > S05942

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. The bill also provides free licenses to members of the Shinnecock and Poospatuck tribes, members of the six nations residing on reservations, active members of the U.S. armed forces not stationed in the state, and active members of the New York organized militia or reserve components of the U.S. armed forces. The bill aims to provide these benefits to eligible first responders and others as a way to support their outdoor recreational activities.
