BILL NUMBER:S6221
Title of bill
An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to exempting active duty military personnel from taking required hunting courses for purposes of obtaining a hunting license
Purpose
To exempt active duty military personnel from the required hunters safety course before getting a hunting license.
Summary
Section 1 amends section 11-0713 of the environmental conservation law to allow proof of active duty military status as a qualification for receipt of a hunting license.
Section 2 provides the enacting clause.
Justification
While members of our active duty military receive current training in the safe operation of fire arms, they are still required to undergo a hunting safety course in order to obtain a hunting license in the State.
For their great service to our country, it is appropriate to offer an exemption to the active duty military personnel from the hunters safety course.
To be eligible for an exemption under this bill, the individual must be in active duty with a branch of the United States military or with a force of the organized militia with an active status.
