Bill > HB5597

This bill modifies existing Illinois law to provide a reduced fee of $5 for annual or 3-year fishing and hunting licenses for resident veterans of the United States Armed Forces who have returned from service abroad or mobilization by the President of the United States. This reduced fee applies to active duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces, the Illinois National Guard, or the Reserves of the U.S. Armed Forces, and veterans must provide acceptable verification of their service to the Department of Natural Resources. The bill amends both the Fish and Aquatic Life Code and the Wildlife Code to implement these changes, ensuring that eligible veterans can obtain these licenses at a significantly lower cost.
