Bill > SB2293

This bill amends the Department of Natural Resources Act and the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act to allow nonresident license applicants who live outside the United States and are not U.S. citizens to use a passport number instead of a social security number when applying for wildlife or fish-related licenses. Importantly, the bill specifies that individuals issued a license under this provision are prohibited from using that license to hunt on public lands. The changes aim to provide more flexibility for international applicants while maintaining certain restrictions. The bill also requires the Department of Natural Resources to keep a record of the passport number and ensures that passport numbers, like social security numbers, will not appear on the face of the license. Additionally, the bill maintains existing provisions related to license applications, such as requiring applicants to certify their compliance with child support obligations and allowing the assignment of customer identification numbers to protect applicants' personal information.
