Bill Summary
This bill provides a resident trapping license fee discount to senior citizens. The current law provides discounted licensing rates to senior citizens only with regard to resident fishing, firearm hunting, and bow hunting. Accordingly, this bill would fill a gap in the statute by providing senior citizens with a resident trapping license fee discount that is consistent with the discounts already authorized for other closely related outdoor activities.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing New Jersey law to provide a discounted resident trapping license fee for senior citizens, specifically those aged 65 and older, aligning this discount with similar discounts already available for senior citizens holding resident firearm hunting, bow and arrow hunting, and fishing licenses. Currently, the law offers a reduced fee for resident trapping licenses only to individuals between 12 and 16 years old, and while senior citizens receive discounts on other hunting and fishing licenses, this specific discount was missing for trapping. The bill inserts language to create this new senior citizen discount for trapping licenses, ensuring consistency in benefits for older residents engaging in various outdoor activities.
