Bill Summary

The purpose of this bill is to provide that a hunting license is only required for public land.

AI Summary

This bill amends West Virginia law to clarify that a hunting license is only required for hunting on public land, meaning individuals can hunt on private property during open seasons as long as they have the landowner's permission, without needing a license. The bill also makes a minor technical correction to an existing provision regarding hunting and fishing licenses for residents aged sixty-five and older, changing a reference from a section number to a specific code citation.
