AI Summary
This bill revises various provisions related to wildlife licenses, permits, and tags in Nevada. It removes specific fee amounts from existing law and requires the Board of Wildlife Commissioners to prescribe initial fees by regulation that are equal to the previous statutory fees. The bill allows the Commission to adjust these fees annually based on the Consumer Price Index, with increases or decreases limited to 90-125% of the calculated inflation adjustment. Key changes include modifying licensing requirements for non-resident children under 12 (eliminating the fish limit restriction), revising conditions for deferring big game hunting tags, and adding provisions for issuing duplicate licenses. The bill also addresses specific wildlife management issues, such as replacement tags for diseased animals (specifically excluding replacement tags for deer with chronic wasting disease) and adjusting the types of tags for which the Commission must prescribe fees. Additionally, the bill makes numerous technical and conforming changes to align with the new fee-setting approach, ensuring that the Department of Wildlife has flexibility in managing licensing and permitting while maintaining consistent revenue streams for wildlife conservation efforts.
