Bill > SB216

This bill amends Alaska Statute 16.05.404 to clarify and expand the rules surrounding the transfer of big game hunting permits, particularly those obtained through a drawing process managed by the Board of Game. Key provisions include requiring that a person receiving a transferred permit must meet the same qualifications as the original permit holder, and that any transfer or reissue of a permit must occur before the hunting season begins, with specific deadlines for drawing permits. The bill also introduces a new rule preventing any individual from holding more than one drawing permit for the same species at a time, whether obtained directly or through transfer. Furthermore, it allows the commissioner to create regulations and charge a fee for permit transfers, not exceeding administrative costs, and clarifies that a recipient of a transferred permit inherits all the original permit's conditions and limitations, with the state not being liable for any losses incurred by the recipient. This Act is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
