SB 79 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to wildlife. (BDR 45-314)

SB 79 updates Nevada's wildlife regulations primarily affecting hunters and anglers. It removes the requirement for non-resident children under 12 to obtain a hunting license (previously only fishing was license-free for them), expands duplicate license replacements to cover surrendered licenses, and eliminates free replacement tags for deer infected with chronic wasting disease. The bill shifts fee-setting authority to the Board of Wildlife Commissioners, requiring them to establish initial fees based on prior rates and adjust them annually using the Consumer Price Index (with 90-125% limits on changes). These changes streamline licensing, clarify tag replacement rules, and modernize fee adjustments while maintaining existing fee structures until new regulations are adopted.
