Title of bill
An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to certain fees for fishing and trapping licenses
Purpose
To reduce the price of fishing, trapping, and hunting licenses for citizens who have attained the age of sixty-five.
Summary of provisions
Section one reduces the price of fishing and trapping licenses to five dollars for each license for those who have attained the age of sixty-five.
Section two states that this act shall take effect immediately.
Justification
Many states surrounding New York offer fishing, trapping, and hunting licenses at a reduced rate to citizens who have attained the age of sixty-five. New York citizens who have attained the age of sixty-five are often retired or soon to be retiring. With limited income, senior citizens should be able to enjoy outdoor activities at a reduced rate.
