Bill > SB461

This bill addresses wildlife licensing procedures in Oregon by requiring the State Fish and Wildlife Commission to provide paper copies of licenses, tags, and permits upon request by purchasers and prohibiting the commission from mandating electronic licensing systems as the sole method of obtaining wildlife documentation. The bill specifically amends existing law to require license agents to issue paper copies when requested and ensures that individuals cannot be compelled to use online systems to buy or use licenses, tags, or permits. Additionally, the bill increases the portion of agent fees that certain license agents can retain, raising the fee for most licenses from $1 to $2, with specific higher rates for certain types of licenses like nonresident hunting and tag licenses. This legislation aims to preserve traditional paper documentation options and provide more financial compensation to license agents, while maintaining flexibility in how wildlife licenses and permits are obtained and issued.
