CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 206(RES) "An Act relating to migratory game bird hunting; to a nonresident combined sport fishing and hunting license, to the nonresident military small game and sport fishing license, to applications for certain licenses, tags, registrations, and permits issued by the Department of Fish and Game, and to duplicate crewmember licenses." JOHN MANLY, Staff to Representative John Harris stated that this legislation was presented at the request of the Department of Fish and Game, consisting of a general cleanup of existing statutes. He pointed out that in six sections of the current statute, the word "water fowl" was changed to "migratory game bird," in order to bring this designated species (more specifically Snipes and Cranes) into a federal reporting program. He continued that Section 3 of the bill allows disabled Veterans and five dollar license holders to register in the National Migratory Game Bird harvest program by one of two different methods. He gave the specifics of these. He noted that Section 4 of the bill created a new combination of seven- day nonresident hunting and fishing license, which are currently is issued separately. He cited that this legislation sets a fee for special non-resident military small game licenses. He remarked that a provision was added allowing residents of the Yukon Territory to obtain a non-resident sport-fishing license at a resident fee. He noted that these individuals would be governed under the non-resident seasons and bag limits. He added that this would not go into affect until a reciprocal courtesy was extended. He concluded that in Sections 9 and 10, the protocol for administering an oath regarding residency would be replaced by language on the application for licensure. He outlined a general technical change regarding the addition of the word "registration." He summed up that Section 17 authorizes the department to issue replacement commercial fishing, crew licenses for five dollars. Co-Chair Torgerson stated that the bill would be HELD and brought up at the next scheduled meeting.
