SB 153 West Virginia Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Exempting certain persons from hunting, trapping, and fishing license fees

SB 153 waives hunting, fishing, and trapping license fees for municipal volunteer firefighters in West Virginia. To qualify, applicants must submit an affidavit from their fire chief confirming their volunteer firefighter status. The fee waiver applies only to the license or permit fee, not to other requirements like passing safety courses or meeting residency rules. All other standard licensing procedures and eligibility criteria still apply to these individuals.
