Requiring the Kansas department of wildlife and parks to offer discounted resident senior combination hunting and fishing passes to residents of this state who are 65 years of age or older and removing the expiration date for Kansas kids lifetime combination hunting and fishing licenses.
HB 2147 requires Kansas' Department of Wildlife and Parks to offer discounted resident senior hunting and fishing passes (at 1/8 the cost of a general lifetime pass) to Kansas residents aged 65 or older. It also permanently removes expiration dates for "Kansas Kids" lifetime combination hunting and fishing licenses, which previously expired in 2032. Both the senior pass fee and the kids' license fee must not exceed amounts meeting federal requirements for paid hunting or fishing licenses under 16 U.S.C. §§ 669 and 777. The bill directly affects senior residents and children who qualify for these licenses.
