Summary

The bill creates two new hunting‑tag transfer programs. One lets parents, guardians or grandparents give a tag to a child or grandchild who is 17 or younger and holds a valid hunting license; the other lets qualified nonprofit groups move tags from donors to youth with life‑threatening illnesses or permanent disabilities, or to disabled veterans, also requiring a license. Fees collected from transfers are deposited into the Big Game Management Account to support wildlife management.
