Bill > S0288

This bill proposes to allow nonresident full-time students enrolled in Vermont public or independent schools (grades nine through 12), postsecondary education institutions (like colleges or universities), or postgraduate programs to purchase fishing, hunting, or combination hunting and fishing licenses at the same cost as Vermont residents. To qualify, these students must present a student identification card or other official document from their school confirming their enrollment status. The bill also clarifies that "full-time student" for postsecondary institutions means a student registered for at least 12 credit hours per semester. This change aims to make hunting and fishing more accessible to students who are studying in Vermont, even if they are not permanent residents.
