Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one which reduces, but does not eliminate the minimum age requirements for obtaining a hunting license.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Passed in the House 69 to 33 (details)
To reduce the minimum age requirements for obtaining a hunting license from 12 years of age, to 11 years of age if the hunter turns 12 years of age at anytime during the calendar year in which license is issued. This would also be the minumum age for a license to hunt deer, bear, or elk with a firearm, which under current law is 14 years of age. A minor would still need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian in the field.
