AN ACT EXEMPTING SENIOR CITIZENS FROM FISHING LICENSE FEES.

HB 6253 would exempt senior citizens from paying fees for both recreational freshwater and saltwater fishing licenses under state law. The bill directly affects residents aged 65 or older who engage in recreational fishing. It removes the requirement for these individuals to pay standard license fees when obtaining or renewing their fishing permits. The legislation aims to increase access to recreational fishing opportunities for seniors without altering existing license requirements for other age groups. The bill is currently referred to the Environment Committee for review.
