HB 5263 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT EXEMPTING SENIOR CITIZENS FROM FISHING LICENSE FEES.

This bill would exempt senior citizens from paying fees for recreational fishing licenses in the state. It directly affects residents aged 65 or older who engage in fishing, removing a cost barrier for this group. The key provision amends existing fishing license regulations to eliminate the fee requirement specifically for senior citizens. Non-senior citizens would still need to purchase and pay for a standard fishing license. The change applies only to license fees, not other fishing regulations or requirements.
