Summary

The bill changes the Fish and Aquatic Life Code so that anyone who bought a lifetime fishing, hunting, or sportsmen’s combination license on or after Jan. 1, 2027 must pay the resident or non‑resident fee that matches where they actually live when they buy any related permits or stamps. If the license holder does not reside in Illinois when applying for lotteries, drawings, permits or stamps, they are considered a non‑resident for those items. The Department of Natural Resources can also suspend or deny licenses for violations of fee‑area rules or non‑compliance by the licensed area or its operator.
