Requiring a valid upland game bird stamp prior to taking any upland game bird in this state, except on private land, establishing the upland game bird restoration fund and requiring the department of wildlife and parks to use moneys from such fund for the procurement and release of upland game birds.

HB 2547 requires hunters to purchase an upland game bird stamp (with exemptions for those not needing a hunting license, hunters on private land, and lifetime license holders) to take birds like pheasants or quail in Kansas. It establishes an "upland game bird restoration fund" funded by stamp fees, mandating that all money from the fund be used solely for procuring and releasing upland game birds in the state. The bill also creates a new 10-day youth hunting season for those under 17, requiring adult supervision, and sets maximum stamp fees at $15 for residents and $25 for non-residents. These provisions aim to restore bird populations, support youth hunting opportunities, and increase tourism revenue through targeted wildlife management.
