HB 5093 increases Michigan's resident combination hunting and fishing license fee from $75 to $78 and nonresident combination license fee from $265 to $268. It modifies the mentored hunting license program to make it free for individuals with developmental disabilities while maintaining specific access requirements. The bill updates several licensing fee structures in the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, affecting all hunters and anglers purchasing licenses in Michigan. It also requires the department to report on fee adequacy for the mentored hunting program every four years. These changes directly impact license buyers, particularly those accessing the mentored hunting program or purchasing combination licenses.
