Bill > HF411

This bill proposes to amend Minnesota's game and fish licensing laws by providing free permanent angling licenses to residents who are 65 years of age or older. Under the new provision, any authorized license issuer would be required to provide a free fishing license to eligible seniors without charging a fee. To obtain the license, seniors can use their driver's license or Minnesota identification card as proof of age and residency when purchasing the license at any agent location. This change aims to make fishing more accessible and affordable for older Minnesota residents by eliminating the cost barrier for angling licenses for individuals in this age group. The bill specifically adds a new subdivision to section 97A.441 of Minnesota Statutes to codify this provision, ensuring that seniors can easily obtain a permanent fishing license at no cost.
