A bill for an act relating to game and fish; providing for free angling, deer, and small game licenses to residents age 70 or over; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 97A.441, by adding a subdivision.
AI Summary
This bill amends Minnesota state law to provide free hunting and fishing licenses for residents who are 70 years of age or older. Specifically, the bill requires licensing authorities to issue, at no cost, three types of licenses to qualifying seniors: a permanent fishing license, an annual deer hunting license (valid for both firearms and archery hunting), and an annual small game hunting license. To obtain these free licenses, seniors can use their driver's license or Minnesota identification card as proof of age and residency at any licensing agent location. The provision aims to make outdoor recreational activities more accessible and affordable for older Minnesota residents by removing the financial barrier of licensing fees for those aged 70 and above.
