Referred to Rules Committee
Summary
The bill lowers the cost of both annual and three‑year fishing or hunting licenses to $5 for Illinois residents who are veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces, National Guard, or Reserves after returning from overseas service or presidentially‑ordered mobilization. Eligible veterans must provide acceptable verification of service, which the Department of Natural Resources will define through administrative rulemaking. The measure seeks to honor veterans and make outdoor recreation more affordable for them.
