Modifies provisions governing permits for hunting and fishing
HB 2202 provides free hunting and fishing permits, waives hunter education fees, and offers lifetime permits to specific groups in Missouri. It directly affects disabled veterans (with 100% service-connected VA disability), active military personnel, and their eligible dependents (spouses or minor children). The bill requires the conservation commission to issue free permits and waive all associated fees for these groups, including a combined lifetime permit for Purple Heart recipients. This policy change eliminates cost barriers for these individuals to access hunting and fishing opportunities under state law.
